'Man' is a common one where I come from, for a husband. No-one would ever say 'woman' though, unless you're Ted Nugent.

xos and is the inference that this has been confirmed or not
because there is a clear negative connotation to one and if you project one that isnt there onto the other you should probably interrogate that yourself

Dmac otm as usuIn romance languages wife is literally woman. Husband/wife can also translate to “handcuff”

My main reason for using 'partner' is to avoid 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend', which sound too...trivial?

Earlier i recognized that my admission of old does fold into a kind of formal legacy sitch on those terms- to me ‘spouse’ seems more gendered than ‘partner’ because partner reflected non legal or non recognized relationships. Im sure y’all smarts got that, but it reached me.

I hear partner a little more often these days here in the US but I remember people using it all the time when I lived in England. I thought like 3/4 of the ppl I worked with were gay for the first couple weeks.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 23 May 2018 14:12 (eight years ago)
Do people still say Marks and Sparks? It strikes me as very 80s.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Wednesday, 23 May 2018 14:39 (eight years ago)
I started saying partner all the time because I work in academia where there are lots of couples, 90% of whom have different last names, and I generally have no idea how many of them are actually married or just live together and/or have children.
― joygoat, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 14:57 (eight years ago)
many xxxps but completely agree on overuse of "timeline" as in "this is the worst timeline." seems to have replaced (the much worse imo) "time is a flat circle"

so theres obv a whole board to be had on the american service industry
but "absolutely" and "of course" will be ringing around my head in all of the wrong tones for months to come after this trip
doesnt help that 3 in 4 of requests met with these responses (often uttered before I'd actually finished) were ignored or ballsed up.
