As a 50+ year old, what do I call my ‘other half’ (hate that term)?
Girl friend more apropriate to 18-30 age group.
Lady friend sounds like it’s from the Victorian era.
Significant other sounds contrived and pompus.
Special friend – nudge nudge, wink wink.
Partner more for a long standing relationship.
So what is it to be?
1. Girlfriend – there is uncertainty and sounds unsure for both.
2. Lady friend – sounds like you prefer the same sex. i.e. male or homosexual.
3. SO – she is significant but not you.
4. Special friend – is she supplying you class A drugs?
5. Partner – who is the majority shareholder?
Be a man call her your wife vice versa.
