I don’t know about anyone else, but I started doing it because I want to destroy Western culture.
Funnily enough, due to Western culture marriage has become a business so ‘partner’ is more accurate.
Have you tried holding hands and kissing? I hear that causes hurricanes.
That’s why you do that sort of stuff inland.
Oh sure, good luck moving Fire Island inland.
Fire Inland.
I started in order to advance the deep state woke agenda and get paid by Soros, personally.
What do you have against Westerns, pardner?
Nobody asked, but as a gay man I exclusively refer to my husband as “my husband.” I never liked the term “partner.” We didn’t start a business together, and we’re not cops. “Life partner” bothers me less, but it still seems stilted
n+1 here, but I’m a bi woman married to a straight man and I’ve started using partner more recently because there’s a lot of baggage in the history of power dynamics associated with the titles of husband and wife.
I also hope it makes people think for a minute if they need to ask me clarifying questions about my marriage status or sexuality/how the person I’m married to identifies.
At the same time, I totally understand the impact of not using generic words when it comes to gay marriage, where there was such a long fight to be recognized as husband and husband. So cheers to you and your husband!
I miss when my gay friends all called their partners “lovers”.
As in literally if they were introducing their boyfriend, it was never “this is my boyfriend Chris” it was “this is Chris, my lover.”
No idea if it was just a local thing but it was just so, well, lovely.
Same. Gay and married to “my husband”. Before that he was my boyfriend, not my partner.
Yes, my boyfriend! It seems so odd when I see straight people use the term partner. Well, as far as I’m concerned, they can have it.
Mine and I are getting married this week and we were both excited to see “spouse” as an option on the documents.
We are now spouse and spouse.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations to you both!
I mean I get it, there’s an age at which referring to someone as your boyfriend or girlfriend feels a little lame.
I’m an old guy. Since we (my "partner and I) are not married but have lived together for years (no common law here,) husband/wife doesn’t apply. I don’t know any other word to use other than partner, but it is still difficult for me to naturally say. Not sure why. Funnier (at our age) would be boyfriend and girlfriend. Uh … no.
My spouse and I just use SO (esso) for significant other. I like it more than partner as it is explicitly a romantic or at least very important relationship.
Why not husband/wife?
Ah yes here is my womanfriend. She’s a friend first but sometimes she’s a woman… Wait.
It’s because of Borat.
I call mine baybe
“Baybe wake up! Some new pasta just dropped!”
Wait until they find out I call my wife meine Ehefrau 😓
