minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•edit-24 months agoWait, is calling your partner ‘a partner’ a dead giveaway that you’re gay? I’ve been doing this all my life partially to normalize the term but also because I’m gay lol
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•4 months agoIt definitely makes me curious when someone uses it haha
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-24 months agoI’m straight, and I use partner more often than not.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•4 months agoI’m straight and married but I say Partner because “wife” and “husband” sounds like a human property arrangement. I know at least one other straight couple who says partner because they don’t want to get into a long discussion about why they’re not getting married
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•4 months agoAgreed, same situation and we both refer to the other as partner. All our peers generally do the same and it’s very normal (UK).
