I hate the word select instead of chose. I called my partner partner even though i hate the word but confessing all i can't always get my mouth around the word fiance and he's neither my husband nor husband to be and it sounds silly for me(over 25) to call him my boyfriend!

I use 'partner' because I'm not married to him, so I can't call him 'husband'. Though on here he's my OH lol Formally though, I have to use that term.

I hate the term 'girlies' One woman in our office, when emailing us all will start with, Hi Girlies!

I think Partner is used for older people as boy and girlfriend sounds daft when you are older and no longer a boy or girl. My o.h. is not my fiance or my husband.


I hate it when people swear in a sentence for no reason, ie. not angry or whatever, use it as a matter of course. It's awful.

"Partner" is my pet hate.........why dont they use wife/husband fiancee?

partner to me implies something that is not permanent......like dancing partners......partner in a card school......
