Reply #18: It Definitely Varies From Couple to Couple.

[Toasterlad]

But most of the married male couples I know call each other "husband", except when filling out the countless legal paperwork they need to cover their asses because although they've married each other, the government refuses to recognize it.

On a side note, I DETEST the use of the word "partner", which in no way conveys any depth of warmth or feeling.

On another side note, be sure to tell you co-worker that this fag said that, while there may be confusion about what to call same-sex couples, there's no confusion about what to call HIM*.
