Hi Theo!
I would not like better half either, although, as I write this, it's not likely to come up.
To be honest, one of the reasons I wanted to get married was that after more than a decade together, and being in my 40s, calling Jason my "boyfriend" seemed wrong.
I think it's funny how many of my friends and their partners call each other "Baby" all the time. Now I'm trying to think about people I know whose spouses I don't know. I think people at work mostly say their names, not "my husband."
I am trapped in paperwork hell.
When I worked at the bakery cooperative in Madison, we had a discussion on what to call partners. Someone mentioned "S.O." and someone else commented that "S.O." made him think of "Special Order." Then we decided that "Special Order" sounded like a cool term to use for a partner....
Sometimes I refer to Joe as Joe, sometimes "my husband", and we call each other "Baby". It really depends on who I am talking to and whether or not I'm pissed at him and in the company of friends.
When I am not at work, I usually call Jason The Dude, as in "Let me check with The Dude and see if we are free that night."
OH MY GOD INTERNET WHAT THE HELL?
I think we've discovered what my usual coping mechanism is at work.
Plus, there are several parts of my job that really require use of the internet.
