Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends “girlfriends”, I have to wonder how women with actual girlfriends have been dealing with this lol

    I’ve run into this a few times talking about my Sisters partner.

    I just call him her husband now.

      Back before we had marriage equality, Partner became the universal even for husbands and wives, because it’s more inclusive.

      Now we’ve got it, but partner just seems to have stuck.
