What do you call your significant other, when you're talking to others?

Do you call them your husband/wife....my man or my lady...my boyfriend/girlfriend....?

Or do you just call them by their name?
For me, I usually call him 'my guy' (and he calls me 'the wife' to his buddies.)
We are [i]engaged[/i], but I just feel like the term [b]fiance[/b] is better suited to the young couples....and we are definitely too old to be saying 'my boyfriend' and 'my girlfriend'

I call him Hubs. He tends to use my name, unless its to a stranger then he'll say wife.

Why are you too old to use "fiancé/fiancée" or "boyfriend/girlfriend"? Those terms are not defined only for people under 30.

If they are accurate reflections of your relationship, use them...not fearfully or apologetically, but proudly, because you are proud of your S/O and your relationship. 😊

Or, you could take a cue from an old SNL skit and promote calling one's S/O "Pat", regardless of gender... 😉😆

When I had one I simply said his name or my husband or my partner, depending who i was talking to.
But never ever hubby.
And if he had ever referred to me as the wife or the missus, he would have been out the door much sooner.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
That depends on to whom I am speaking. If they know my wife by name, I'll use her name, otherwise, I refer to her as my wife.

Have you gotten your covid shots yet?
Adogslife · 61-69, M
I’m 61, gf is 51. I introduce her or refer to her as my gf. She’s not a fiancé yet as I haven’t bought her an engagement ring, nor proposed.
Gangstress · 41-45, F
