    It’s an AC on dehumidify kind of day. Otherwise, my girlfriend starts training for her new job today, I’m excited to see how it goes

      strange question for you, and you dont have to answer: Why the choice of the word “girlfriend” rather than “partner”? I find this kind of stuff fascinating!

          Maybe this only kicks in when its marriage level: but I personally go with what annoys her most! That little groan and eye roll she does when i try (and fail) to make her laugh is what fuels me haha

        I go between boyfriend and partner, depending on the situation. But now that I’m thinking about it, I have no idea what in the situation dictates which I use…

        I guess I’m one of those people that finds people who use the word partner annoying. I could use it since we’ve been together for so long and have kids but I find girlfriend feels right to me

            It does feel that way at times but I’ll stick to girlfriend until if we ever get married
