Although there is something to be said about the defanged passion of the term partner. And not that husband or girlfriend or whatever innately implies passion, but rather I think we need a new word that gets us closer to one another, or several others. Something in between lover (which feels very transient) and partner (which feels very technical) β€” let us invoke Dionysus

There are lovers and there are haters. That's it.

Unfortunately I have a hater wife.

very sad but big if true.

I cringe a bunch if someone refers to their partner as "lover". Idk why

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It has a kind of wealthy-Victorian-playboy-on-the-fringes-of-polite-society air to it.

where the fuck did your Dirt_ go

are you telling me there were two owls on the site the whole time?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Oh no. Nobody tell her how many there actually are.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

tbh I've never like the term "partner." I know it's supposed to be sort of gender neutral, but it always sounds so corporate and lacking in intimacy whenever someone says it. I'd much prefer if we used "lover." Much more beautiful of a term.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Same. I understand the need for a gender neutral word, but the world we are trying to build is based on love, passion and art. I don't want brutalism to permeate the language when nicer, more thoughtful words exist that people won't object to.

It almost feels like a solution looking for a problem in the way that someone identified the fact that "husband" and "wife" can be problematic, but instead went towards the clinical instead of the soulful

Does anyone care for spiced lamb shanks? Well, at this point during the soak, my lov-ah and I usually crave spiced meats. We always order them up special for the Welshly Arms Kitchen, and keep them here in this igloo cooler.

This must be an Anglo thing because we just say boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife
