[quote=Anonymous]About a year ago I moved in with my boyfriend of 1.5 years. Everyone (my aunt, BF’s aunt, my moms cousin, and other people) keep calling my BF my “marido” which translates into husband in English. I’m really annoyed because they’re all “old school” and “traditional” so they don’t believe in living together before marriage. I always correct them and tell them he’s my boyfriend because I think it’s rude to refer to someone as “husband” when we’re not married. I think they’re all upset that I’m living in a “free union” according to my moms cousin. They think it’s wrong and they basically call him my husband because they think we’re playing house without having to actually commit through marriage. No matter how many times I correct them and tell them he’s my boyfriend, they never correct themselves. Its annoying and I’m getting really tired of it because they think their lives are so perfect and they can judge me. My aunt is addicted to hard drugs, my BF’s aunt also lives with her boyfriend even though they’re unmarried, my moms cousin has an abusive alcoholic husband. So , every time they say he’s my husband I feel like throwing a low blow and reminding them of their situation. I feel like instead of worrying about my life they should focus on their messed up situation. 
Next week is my cousins birthday party and if someone calls my BF my husband one more time, I swear I will say something because I’m tired of it. 
Has anyone been in this situation? Literally EVERYONE in my family, (besides some of my cousins), refer to him as my husband and I’m fed up with it. [/quote]
