What do you call him?

Well obviously I call mine hubby, but you know what? Before we got married... I mean we'd already been living together for 2 years and already had kids and everything. We were never officially engaged until like a week before we got married. We knew we were going to get married, but it was so unconventional, you know. He never proposed or anything like that. Anyways, I was in chat rooms and things like that at the time, and I hated using the word boyfriend. Boyfriend sounds to me like just dating, and we were far more than dating... we were essentially married just without the paper work. I think I occasionally called him my fiance, but I didn't like the word much either, so eventually I just called him hubby even though we weren't married yet.

When I am on here I say "my fiance", when I am talking to someone I use his name. If I'm talking to his parent's I'll say "he" but that's the only time I think I've said "he" other then talking to my mom and grandparents, oh and his grandparent's. Ohh but his first name is long but has a shorter form, so I'll say the longer form sometimes to his parents and to my family, but the shorter form to our friends.

I refer to him as my partner, as I feel that's an accurate description. We have children together, and we're not teenagers anymore so boy/girlfriend seems silly. We're not married, so husband wouldn't be accurate.

Since I'm married I just say "husband". When I was younger and dating I would always say "boyfriend".

Hi there jessp I call him a jerk, idiot, plank etc but when I am talking to people who don't know me so well I call him my ex!!! Hahahahaha

Well when I was on that relationship stage, I used to call my partner honey. I think you can call him/her what ever you like. The most important thing is that both of you feel comfortable with that name. You may call your partner darling or even just call his/her name. OK?

I usually talk about my boyfriend, but as we are engaged I also call him my fiance from time to time. I hate the way that sounds though, a bit old fashioned and cheesy (when you use it a lot that is). I sometimes also refer to him as 'my partner' or I just refer to him using his first name (if people know him).

Well, I usually refer to my girlfriend as either my girlfriend or my partner. I prefer my partner when talking to a peopld. But my nickname for her is tenshi. My angel in japanese.

normally i just refer to him by his name, to family and friends. every once in a while i call him be his first and last initial, but not often. if it's on her, normally my s/o, we are not married but have been together almost 4 years. not sure about others here, but, boyfriend always had a ring of teen years to it, after all we are both in our forties lol.

Before we were married I used to refer to my husband as my fiance. Occasionally, I would refer to him as my 'husband' when situations warranted it; we were together for 32 years before we got married and so sometimes it just made life easier when I was dealing with officialdom to refer to him as 'husband'. One thing I never, ever referred to him as was 'partner' and I strongly objected to other people referring to him as such. I think it asexualises someone to refer to them in a non-gender fashion, also I think it makes a relationship sound more like a business arrangement.

I call him my boyfriend. Even though we are living together and have a child, we are not engaged and we are not married so that is what he is. If someone even calls him my husband, I will correct them. Until there is a ring on my finger, I am allowed to check the "single" box. It could always be worse, I could call him "my baby daddy". LOL!

Hmmm I guess I call my boyfriend babyboy, It just goes along with him calling me babygirl. I also have alot of little pet names that I call him but baby-boy comes out of my mouth more then anything else

Hi, when I refer to my b/f I call him "My boyfriend". We are not engaged but hope to get married but I had bad experiences with being engaged twice(2 broken engagements) so I refuse to be engaged.Until he becomes my husband he will remain my boyfriend.

It depends. If I'm talking to someone my age or a little older I'll call him my boyfriend, but if I'm talking to someone much older I'll call him my significant other, since that term seems to be more acceptable.

Companion is a good one to use. Or Schnoogums ;) My gal pal liked to call me her Significant Vulgarian. If the name fits....

Since I am the type that offers as little information as possible about my personal life, I always refer to or call my guy friend my partner. It just is simple, doesn't label, leaves some to the imagination and leaves things open and not sounding definite. You are right that "other half" does sound somewhat corny indeed. Referring to your husband as fiance over and over would get old fast. Try using partner, or mate. I prefer partner. It works well in most all situations too. Very versatile with still getting the point across. Hope this helps. Wishing you well.

I've gotten into the habit of calling my girlfriend my partner. It's just comes out without even thinking about it usually. Sometimes I do just call her my girlfriend but partner is just how it comes out.

i am still not in the relationship. and i think it will take time. but i do have some close to me that we do have a somewhat "call".. i called him and her PARTS.. but i less often do it.. i wait that it is the other partner who will call first. not me.. hehe.. i don't know. i find it odd to be the one to call first. it was not easy though..

Richard. Seriously... Well occasionally I refer to him as 'my husband' or 'dad' (to the kids). But usually it's pretty much just his name.

I usually call him baby I am so used to it I hardly ever call him by his first name and when I have to it sound so strange. I use his name when talking to others about him, but almost never when Im talking to him.
