I feel so odd about people who call their SO their “partner” and they’re not gay. like I get the idea of trying to normalize it but also it’s not working and now everyone thinks you’re gay. which is still cool but I have still been given false impressions

people also do it because girlfriend & boyfriend feels very adolescent, which i also get. i wish there were better options :/ like if i were married i would just say husband, fiance is fun… boyfriend? egh

I feel like a lot more people think the word partner means you’re gay than people who think boyfriend or girlfriend means you’re immature but maybe that’s just me
