I can't be the only one that internally rolls my eyes when people refer to their significant other as a fiance/fiancee, right?
Unless you have a date set and it's soon, don't try to church up your situation.
Mm, I think you actually may be the only one.
Guess you're right, oh well. c/unpopular opinion for me.
I think it's a vestige from my time in the military and how many stripper fiancees my soldiers had.
Oof, you're the only one. As long as no one is playing grab ass at the roller coaster line, I think we're good.
Getting angry or complaining about how someone calls their significant other and gatekeeping when it can be used is something they should've learnt to get over a long time ago.
Hey now, there's nothing wrong with grabbing your partner's ass in public every once in a while.
What about slap ass?
You'd hate me then. I'm not even married nor engaged to my wife. We just call each other that because it feels nice.
That's somehow much better in my mind. Assuming you don't do it with every tinder date that lets you get your dick wet.
I wouldn't know. My wife's the only person I've ever dated. Probably wouldn't just do that with random dates though. My wife and I knew eachother for a while before we were dating and got close even before then. That's why I was comfortable calling her my wife. I was confident it'd last. Even then it wasn't until a while in the relationship that we started doing it.
Plus we'd been getting mistaken for a married couple quite a lot, so I figured why not just act like one? Takes off the pressure to actually get married too early, too. After all, what's there to gain that we can't gain without it?
Depending on where you live and when you began behaving like this and calling her your wife, you may in fact be married.
Luckily, I did look up the laws for my state, and legally we aren't technically married, but we do have the right and sometimes the obligation to apply for some marriage related benefits. It's weirdly inconsistent.
My wife and I get a huge tax break for filing jointly, not to mention healthcare and life insurance benefits.
Unfortunately, don't think we can do any of those to any significant effect. We're both on medicaid and non-taxable disability income. In other words, we don't usually legally have to file taxes unless we had some other kind of income that year because it's just gonna be a long string of zeros.
What we can do though is file for disability as a married couple, then we can legally save up a lot more money in exchange for being paid slightly less. The requirements for that are just living together and "holding yourself out as a married couple to the community you live." Well, actually, there is a bit of awkwardness with the wording last I checked that accidentally makes it only apply to heterosexual couples, but I'm sure they legally have to apply the rule to homosexual couples as well. We'll see anyway.
I believe we also have the same visitation rights as a married couple if we're ever hospitalized, which is helpful considering we've both found ourselves hospitalized as a result of our disabilities a few times. I'm not certain about that though. We had quite a distance separating us every time that's happened so far, so haven't had the opportunity to test that.
I think fiance, wife, and husband all sound bad. I call my partner my partner, because she's my life partner. Really it's a better description in my opinion. Being a wife or husband means absolutely nothing, especially given most end rather quickly
Hah, meanwhile I think partner sounds bad, because it will never stop making me think of a law firm.
Woah how did you get your username like that?
You can change your display name on your instance settings.
But how do you get the bold text?
Oh! Lol. I used a text to emoji translator.
