    Is it odd sounding to hear a 50 yr old man refer to his girlfriend? Is there another word to use for older prople, Significant other sounds stuffy to me.

    Well that depends on the seriousness of the relationship. If it's just a female you know it won't last, girlfriend seems appropriate. If it's someone you're looking into a future with, fiancee, wife, love of my life....

    In truth, whatever name you choose to refer her to as, she will be happy with because she'll have you :)

    Whooosh!

    They scare me a bit too. I have an old fig tree they just love and at night if I walk under it I can hear the whoop whoop noise of giant wings taking off or them coming into land..

    Ball and chain? Fan? Admirer? Better half? Gangster *kitten?* Flame? Hearthrob?

    😂 you 🤗

    Add..
    Love muffin
    Bit o crumpet
    Bedwarmer
    Ol girl


    Kidding 😜

    The name I liked the most was "darlin" but Im not sure if it was the word or the accent. 🙂

    Maybe just call her by her name ? Do you have to qualify who she is to others ?


    Congratulations in any event.. going to be in the dad bod thread soon? 😃

    @reenieHJ - thank you so much for the kind words about my song. <3

    I just finished work for the day! YAY finished early, and they're letting us off the hook for more work tomorrow, so I'm done for the weekend. I am so fried mentally from this week that I just want to sleep... but really need to do a workout and actually feed the kids, so maybe just a quick nap. lol

    Squeeze? Just joking 😀
    I think girlfriend is appropriate,
    everything else sounds strange.

    Well lets just say its a hypothetical relationship. 😉. So lets just say im talking with you and i say, me and Xiomara went to dinner last night. You say, who is Xiomara? I say, she is.........darlin? That is no good unless im speaking with her.....but what about when i talk about this theoretical female to you? I think i will be stuck with girlfriend.....

    Good thing this is a theoretical situation 😁

    If you have the privilege of spending an increasing about of intimate time with someone named Xiomara, you best just say their full name all the time and as much as you can. It sounds so lovely 😍 ~ your amateur onomastician, MaltedTea

    I think it sounds great. I don’t get what’s odd about it.

    You know that song "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus?" If you're young enough to believe in Santa it must seem like a rather tawdry song about a child witnessing his mothers infidelity. People should probably keep that one off of their Christmas play list if they have kids. They're going to think Santa's just going around door to door *kitten* peoples Moms.
