"Significant Other"

[kuhio98]

Before Bobcat and I got married, we referred to each other as our "Uh Uh". That came about because when I introduced him to my friends, I'd say, "This is Bob, my uhhhhh uhhhhhh...." After a while, it was just easier to call each other husband and wife. Most people don't really care and it's not really important unless its a legal matter.

I have many friends in this "situation" - they refer to themselves as "living in sin"

Debbie...that's a good point. No one ever asked me what my relationship was to Don. I was just the "Family Member!" And yes...I was to visit with him while they prepped (WHY???)

Sara, they call you a 'family member' because you have a different last name as your husband??? Weird...I wonder if I will go through that, as I will not be changing my last name after marriage...so our last names would be different. I never thought it should be an issue...women never change their last name after marriage in many cultures. WAH...I don't want to be called 'the family member' too!

PCB....they call her that because they are not married...I believe....if you are married and tell them that they won't care about your last name.

Yes...we are married. We use different last names. They nevered asked our relationship. They would say..."are you the family member?" I assume that to be the custom. Next time I will have Edwina go instead....

Can't you just put him down as "lucky"

THAT is hysterical!

I have the same, but, different issue with Jonah, and his recent surgery paperwork. "Is there a father"? "MRS Hutchins...he he he (that is Lillycat!)", "does anyone else live in the house..." (Yep, 7 cats!).

I like the look of uncertainty that crosses the face when I fill out paperwork and leave the paternal questions blank. I am sure school will be more of the same.
