DUers in long term relationships but not married.....

[NightWatcher]

How do you reference your boyfriend/girlfriend/lifepartner?

Significant Other sounds like someone who co-signed a loan for you...
girlfriend/boyfriend makes you sound like you're 15....

"Oh, that's funny, me and my ________________________________________________ went to that same restaurant last week."

1. girlfriend or partner. My gf and I would be how i phrase that sentence

[LeftyMom]

2. "That idiot"

:P

[DarkTirade]

9. Isn't there supposed to be a number in that title?

:P

[LeftyMom]

11. I try not to violate his privacy by using something so identifying.

On the off chance anybody here doesn't know who my boyfriend/significant other/life partner/fuckbuddy is, I probably shouldn't tell them that it's idiot6.

[DarkTirade]

12. Good point.

Shouldn't mention that at all. :P

[SacredCow]

3. It's kind of complicated in my situation....

and significant other actually fits pretty well. We're together, and (AFAIK exclusive)... But we don't live together or have joint accounts or anything like that.

[1gobluedem]

4. I usually just say my friend

Or his name. For the reasons you stated.

Of course, there are many days when 'that idiot' fits too. :rofl:

[Javaman]

5. Oh man, don't get me started...

We will be together 6 years in July.

it bounces back and forth between my girlfriend and my wife. And the same goes for me. It's a running joke that we both get a kick out of, but under Texas law there are very clear guidelines as to what justifies common law marriage. We more than fit the description.

6. note: even in humor, "my old lady" is not taken well.

nuff said

[Javaman]

7. Um, I didn't say that. I think you responded to the wrong person. nt

[NightWatcher]

10. nope just hoping to help others...freee advice

[Javaman]

13. Please direct your "free advice" to the general population, thank you.

I didn't use the term and I find it highly offensive and by you responding to my post, you direct your "free advice" toward me.

So I will thank you very much not to include me in with your bits of wisdom.

You are now blocked.

[NightWatcher]

14. well, excuuuuuuussssseee me

[latebloomer]

19. Overreact much?

[Lilith Velkor]

22. Only if you run with a stuck up crowd.

Jesus Fuck, don't hippies or punks post here anymore?

[Mugu]

8. I've dated the same woman over 20 years.

There's plenty of time so we're not in any hurry.

I refer to her as my ladyfriend.

[flvegan]

15. "Sugartits"

[LeftyMom]

16. They are kinda delicious.

:shrug:

[BeachBaby]

17. "hottie".

[cbayer]

18. After struggling with this for several years, I now just call him my husband

and he calls me his wife.

:hi:

[Mike 03]

20. I was with my girlfriend who eventually became my wife for nine years. We did marry and the

marriage lasted for another five years. Divorce was painful, but we had a wonderful time together for twelve years.

I still miss her. I think living together is a valuable thing and should count as a serious relationship, in general.

21. I agree- boyfriend sounds strange. I sometimes say 'sweetie' but now, he's my "fiance"

:woohoo:
