    I use it in a heterosexual relationship because it sounds weird to call my partner of 20 years my girlfriend when we are both 40. We just aren’t married, so if I said wife people would question why I don’t wear a ring.

    Though if people thought I was gay, who gives a fuck? It’s current year after all.

      Similar situation here. But also, the fuck does their gender matter most of the time, you know?
