[quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed lately that in conversation, I’m more likely to be asked if the guy I’m ‘with’ (they know we share a house/kids) is my “spouse” or “partner.” It caught my attention because it seemed like they were avoiding the word “husband.” I couldn’t tell if this was intentional - a deliberate choice of words? Are the words husband/wife passé? Were they just trying to be unassuming? This has happened with a few different people at family events where it would be very likely to expect couples to be married. Think tee ball games, kids birthday parties, etc. I would have just expected people to make small talk something like: “Oh, who’s your husband? Kyle? By the grill?” If you get my drift. [/quote]
