Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
You heterosexual folks who have live-in SOs but are not married- what term do you use when you introduce your SO to someone who is not a close friend, but also is not just passing by?
There is a middle aged woman living in this building who moved her much younger BF in. She introduced him as her "fiancé" - but it has been 3 years, and he still is her fiancé. When I meet people dancing or at parties, they usually just give a person's name, and leave it to me to figure out what is happening. Likely as not they are not really sure either.
Boyfriend or girlfriend at least has the advantage of sounding affectionate. But they don't say much about commitment, and whether poaching would be definitely out of place. "My new boyfriend" maybe says more than one wants to say.
So what you say when you see yourself as virtually married in terms of commitment and living arrangements, but are not in fact legally married?
