(I thought this was an important enough thought to post on main.)

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) — let us invoke Dionysus

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

[-] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately I have a hater wife.

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

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

I see it a lot in the kink community I guess

Too descriptive; it becomes impersonal

What if we started calling our lovers "panthers"

where the fuck did your Dirt_ go

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

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

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

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.

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

No honey im not getting drunk at the bar, im at the saloon

[-] allthetimesivedied@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

I wish I could call someone any of these things.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

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.
