This is so random but Grandmas never claim their boyfriend, it's always “this my friend Mr Leonard”

I guess it’s kind of a privacy issue. And perhaps it’s just me, but at this age calling someone my "boyfriend" feels silly. On the other hand, my best friend has been seeing someone for a few years, now.

They’re both single, but he’s considerably younger and she insists he’s just fun, not "marriage material". One day her brother referred to the guy as her "lover" and she facepalmed. 😆

@bijouxbroussard Boyfriend and Girlfriend I think are pretty much established verbage for partners. There's no particular better synonym for the term that I know of.

@Vin53 I’m just saying, a lot of seniors in my circle make fun of that term.
