Just a thought...what is the order of descriptions of ones partner throughout a relationship? Like...you start out as a boyfriend or girlfriend...but what comes next? Which terms of endearment hold more romantic value than the others? Partner...lover...etc?
For my previous relationship, the one that was dearest, we called each other "idiot", "asshole", and "dumbass". Those are the sweetest endearments in my opinion.:icon_wink
Honestly, the term of endearment that means the most to me is the person calling me by my name...I'm never ever called by my name anywhere unless it's just attendance at school...so if for some reason they just said my name...I would really love that.
I agree about the name thing, but what I mean is when you are introducing your partner to someone new you would say "Joe, this is my partner Julie" or something along those lines. How would you introduce your partner is really what I'm asking.
I would always say girlfriend, or if we were engaged or married, fiancee or wife. I don't really like the term partner, i dont know why. And i wouldnt introduce someone as my lover, because to me that would imply that it isnt a relationship but just sex. but thats just me
Well.... I guess this could be an order: 1. Hey! 2. Um, you! 3. I can't remember your name, what was it again? >.< 4. [name]! Dating threshold 5. NICKNAME! Boyfriend threshold 6. My sweet little gumdrop! And now I'm single again. Probably from number six.
My boss once was referencing my partner. She said, "Feel free to bring your...you know, your..." I looked at her and said, "F--k chum?" She looked at me, aghast. "I can't believe you said that." Then, suddenly, burst out laughing. "But, God, that's funny." Lex
Welll, Start: 1) Name Flirtation: 1) Name 2) Nickname Relationship: 1) Sweety 2) Honey Serious stuff: 1) Love Dying relationship: 1) Numb nuts Dead: 1) One nut (in reference to my last relationship exactly(he he he))
If I had a boyfriend, I would call him my "boyfriend" , but if we were living together or married, I would call him my "partner" Lex, you are absolutely f--king hillarious!!!!
I absolutely despise the term "partner" in straight or gay couples. When I'm with someone, he will be my boyfriend. If I marry him, he will be my husband.
I'm one of those evil people who give annoying nicknames to everyone, including my boyfriend or girlfriend...and they're usually spur of the moment decisions, but I'd never say "my partner [insert name here]", because partner just seems too, I don't know, I just don't like it LMAO Lex...that was amazing...
