What do you call each other?

Husband ?

Lol I so agree! I usually refer to him as my boyfriend still although I've noticed I have used the word partner a few times! I feel stupid saying fiance. Roll on husband I say!

Dosnt count!!! What about BEFORE he was your husband!

Its usually partner or other half, lol

? Not fair. Partner.

Boyfriend

Girlfriend

I always think if i say partner people will assume i am gay because thats what my gay friends refer to each other as 'their partner'?

That's ok. It would be fun to see their faces when you marry a Man then ?

I don't like fiance much though I do find myself saying it from time to time. Usually it's other half though.

Fiance. As boyfriend seems to casual and husband is too soon.

Enjoy it while you can, it's a fleeting moment!

I call him my boyfriend too, although unless I'm talking to a stranger I'll just call him by his first name and given the likely conversation it's pretty obvious who I'm talking about, if not they ask and I say he's my boyfriend.

Really sadly I'll feel a bit twee-ish calling him my husband, I think. It's almost a bit to newly-wed-fluffy-twee-ness for me ?.

Although I might be guilty of using the word (acronym) OH on here, I cringe when people use this in real life. I don't even know why.

I usually refer to him as my boyfriend, sometimes my other half. I never use the word fiance either! And actually I get annoyed when I'm referring to him to someone and then someone else that I know goes, "Don't you mean, your fiance?!!" all really emphasised, like I'm going to start giggling and showing everyone my ring ?

wa ha ha ha you cant call him your boyfriend when you are married!?

I totoally know what you mean though, i feel to young to have a HUSBAND!! eek

Stazzle - pmsl at your last comment

My husband used to get really upset if I referred to him as my boyfriend after we'd got engaged. I had to call him my fiance.

That's exactly it!

He was my boyfriend and I was his partner.

He was my fiance and I was his fiancee/partner. We loved using the term. maybe its the ole fashioned side of us.

Im now the Wife and hes now Hubby....though i sometimes slip up and say fiance!

I actually tought this was a thread about pet names at first......lol

My daughter lives with her boyfriend and hates it when people call him her partner. They aren't engaged yet but have been together 4 years and although they want to get married, they won't get engaged until they've travelled a bit more and saved up a bit more! She always corrects them and says he's her boyfriend.

Edited to say that I called mine fiance - 1983 when we got married so it was still considered quite raunchy to live with someone! The word 'partner' hadn't been invented then LOL!

Boyfriend. Although I've been experimenting with saying "my husband" lately even though it's not quite true yet ?

I'm not old enough either, which is truly bizarre as I've already done it once!

He was my boyfriend until we got engaged, my fiance during the engagement and is my husband now. I always felt silly saying boyfriend - made me feel like a teenager. I liked saying fiance. Although I used h2b on here, I would never have said 'hubby to be' IRL.

Also have issues with fiance, not sure why but like you I feel a bit up myself using it (though I don't get the same cringe when anyone else uses it for some reason - what can say I'm a hypocrite!). I usually use partner even though people may assume I'm gay - if they don't know me well enough to know that I'm not then it doesn't particularly bother me if they think I am IYSWIM.

OH uses "missus" regardless of actual marital status.

I call him Andy for those that know, and my fiance for those that dont, it feels nice but kind of geeky!

He calls me future wifey :-) heheee

I only ever tend to use fiance if I am introducing him to a stranger! I feels a bit snobby if you will lol! otherwise it's partner or james. (or if he is annoying me his pet name is gob shite) ?

He has already taken to the missus! It makes me sound like a right old moo ?

I call him James, when refering to him to other people (fiance is just to strange I have known him since I was 5 years old)

If we are on our own I cal him Jim Jammer (But I will be in trouble if he knows I told

x

mine is the same. i have to call him fiancee. when i'm out without him tho i call him my partner

I agree with those saying that fiance sounds bit weird..... and boyfriend sounds a bit wrong too now... i find myself saying 'the fella' quite often as i'm not sure what to say... he's already taken to calling me 'the wife' lol

I have never once referred to ABear as my Civil Partner, or my wife (except to her to freak her out!) She was never my fiance either. Depending on who I'm speaking to she's my partner, the Mrs, my bird (not in front of her though ?, her indoors.....can't think of any others. Still slip up and use grlfriend sometimes.

My fella says i should call him his partner. i feel too old to call him my boyfriend so usually just say my fella

I am 31 and still don't feel old enough to be someones wife and have a husband?

I think I have said husband to about 3 people, still feels a bit strange when I say it

It was boyfriend when engaged, fiance sounded a bit odd to me.

PS looking at me today I am single, got bitten and my finger is all swollen so rings are off, I miss them ☹️

NOOOOOOO! There is no way you're 31!!

H'es my other half and I either get " my young lady" or "wife"...think he's been getting into practice for that one cos he's called me it for years lol
