[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally say boyfriend but that can get weird. I'm in my 30s and when I say boyfriend people sometimes get excited about it like, "ooh, a boyfriend! Is it new? What's he like?!" A lot of married people seem to want to hear some kind of sex in the city fun times dating talk. Hear what it's like on the dating scene.

We cohabitate and have been together for 12 years. We've watched countless friends meet, marry and divorce in the time we've been together. My boyfriend will also be 50 in under 5 years.

It depends on the audience, but sometimes I will say partner because I have been corrected using boyfriend since people don't really think that accurately captures our situation and they think boyfriend is misleading. [/quote]

If you’re common law married, he’s your partner. You can always throw his name into the conversation if you want to make sure people know you’re not gay.[/quote]

I don’t really care what people think. VA does not acknowledge common law marriage. He’s my partner. [/quote]
