Hi. It is Saturday and I was just thinking about how weird it is to call my "boyfriend" of almost 16 years a "boyfriend". He certainly is not a boy, although he frequently acts like one. And "significant other" makes my skin crawl. Whoever thought of that one should be proud it became a standard but must be laughing away all these years. Can't call him "my old man" because he is not my Dad, although once again he often acts like that and the word "old" has other connotations that he does not like. I am stumped. I once heard someone use the term "pseudo spouse". Not a winner for me. Anybody have any ideas?
Manfriend - awful
Partner - not really
Hmm.
