    Boyfriend/girlfriend felt like a bit of a weird way to talk about each other when we were both in our 30s. And then fiancee was an awkward word. Maybe we should have used partner

      It feels like I’m a caveman who only has one female friend when I use the word girlfriend. You know the friend which is a girl: it is descriptive because ALL my other friends are males.
