To be honest, I really hate that this word partner is being used for relationships.
Its ok for that word to be used in a gay, lesbian or bi relationship but for me I would say girlfriend like a normal person.
Some people always try to justify the use of that word for relationships like they're ashamed to say boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife like its immature or something.
They need to remember that its a relationship, NOT a business.
Anyone agree? |

When I was married I said husband. I guess it's what you want to call them, if that particular person doesn't mind . I can't see it's an issue.
People refer to their "partner" as all sorts don't they ? I've often heard "her indoors or my other half. Just personal preference like anything really. |

Well you can only say husband/wife if you're married, and girl/boyfriend is a bit infra dig if you're over 40. I like 'mate' myself but oop North it means friend so people get confused.
What about companion? Or lover? Fuck buddy is probably not good for dinner table discussions.  |

I don't mind preferences like "the other half" like you said but I just think saying "partner" in a relationship just sounds daft to be honest. |

In long term relationships I've always just used the term wife . . It's simpler and doesn't make it sound like i'm 8 (girlfriend) . . By the way. . Is it another americanism that women have started using the term 'girlfriends' when referring to their friends ? |
