Technically "my" is incorrect in both cases, the sentence can refer to some abstract son and husband

I checked the word bank to assure it was “my” husband and not “his”, as I wasn't sure which would be more natural to assume. Maybe I am impaired as a native speaker of German and English, so that I am used to adding every poss. pronoun next to a noun, but I would not have detected a more natural assumption for the relation. I found it rather tricky and would have thought that the toleration of both options could be added if it hadn't been so yet.

What about the son and the husband in a case where one is doing a summary for a story of some kind ?
