It depends to whom I am speaking. Sometimes, he's my boyfriend. Others, my husbutch. Still others, my partner or signficant other. Pretty much all the time, he's that pain in the ass guy who makes me smile and snort when I laugh.

She's my wife. She's my lovely butch woman wife. We were married in Amsterdam last month - the paper work is being transferred to UK and Canada. I'm still totally honeymooned out!! probably will be for a long time!

She occasionally slips up and calls me her girl friend - no worries, I told her, I can still be your girlfriend as well as your wife... but your wife first!

I say girlfriend or partner.

She calls me her partner. I don't think she uses the term boyfriend with others, but I know that is another label for me in her head.

It depended upon the situation. Some places we called each other husband/wife. Some places with people in the know Master/slave. Some places where they wouldn't allow us to check off husband/wife it was significant other or domestic partner. Sometimes I called her bitch/slut/girl/etcetc, sometimes she called me an evil bastard/fucker/mean ass/etcetc, lol, it just depends (note - bitch was meant in the most fondest of ways as did evil bastard, usually, chuckles).

Before my late husband transitioned and we were able to legally marry (which made us husband and wife), we called each other lifemates. I still like that term.

Blessings to all of you who are sticking it out together, no matter what youcall each other.

Smooches,
Keri
