[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you're north of 30, talking about your "girlfriend" or "boyfriend" just sounds immature. [/quote] This. My mother has a partner. Her long time companion. He's male, and I realize partner gives people pause, but he's not her boyfriend. They are in their 70s for crying out loud! They don't live together, but have been companions for 20 years. Partner is the best description. I do something refer to him as my step-dad, just to keep things easy in certain situations. But not often.[/quote] I think "companion" is a more apt term for a longterm, unmarried couple who doesn't live together.[/quote]
