I always feel really weird about using the words "boyfriend" & "girlfriend".
Not because I find them objectionable in any particular way, they just feel like terms that fit better when I was in my teens & 20s.
@Impious_Jade Partner?
@misslovelymess Yeah, I do use that one. It works tho' I find it a bit impersonal.
@Impious_Jade “This is my ole lady/ole man” 😂😂😂
@misslovelymess LOL hee yeah that works too! We're not quite out to pasture yet but on the way... LOL
Now that I'm sturdily middle-aged they seem too young to me.
I'm 50 years old, I'm not a girl anymore. The SO is 55, he's not a boy. We're adults. There's gotta be a better term to use.
