Once upon a time there was a choice on forms of POSSLQ. Stood for Person of the Opposite Sex Sharing Living Quarters. I know we went through this same thing....there's Partner, SO, Other Half, Better Half, Shackup, BF (Best Friend), Companion......

With Don's recent surgery we had some of this. Because of the "name thing." But...this being California they are very politically correct. I was referred to as "the family member."
