I've been with my partner for 15 years now - 'girlfriend' doesn't seem to cut it really although that is the term I mostly use. 'Partner' seems a bit ****y. Shall I just call her my wife? Or shall we get married to avoid this situation?
Get married. Have a party.
partner = public sector or same sex. ime 😆
[i]What do you call your 'wife' if you aren't married?[/i]
by her name?
I found "Can I have a cup of tea please, wife?" didn't go down too well 😉
by her name?
It has a name?
Get married, then she can be the 'trouble & strife' or bread kinfe..
At the moments she's just er indoors.. and probably not even swmbo..
Ms Grum
Depends, sometimes partner sometimes wife because it's simpler for simple folk to understand.
De facto (NZ)
Significant Other (USA)
Bidey-in (Scotland)
what ever you want, you ain't married.
Permanent under secretary...
we use Partner, but both think it sounds ****y... depending on who we're talking to we often refer to each other as husband and wife.

Shall I just call her my wife?
Well she's your common law wife (even if that has no legal status).
Don't do partner please. For years I thought the guy upstairs from me was gay, as he introduced me to his partner when he gave me a lift along the road one time. He meant his business partner. Even seeing him on the stairs all over a woman didn't help, I just thought, "wow, he/she is very convincing !!"
Wench?
Introduce her by her Name..
What could be more simple than that.
Me Missus.
I find the wimmins really like this.
But now we're married, I just call her wife, as in:
"Get me a beer, wife"

Wench?
I prefer 'bint' but often wench will do.
Number 2.
I have struggled with this as I've got older girlfriend is just wrong and partner sounds like I'm gay (not that I am you know, nor am homophobic, if I was gay I'd tell... oh **** it).
wench???? WENCH????
Binners is now official single and I'm on the market for someone NOT in the veterans category in 'Hit the North' any takers?
Pics?
better half.
Usually partner, sometimes girlfriend.
I'm in the veterans category but I look a lot younger.
Oh, I'm married too but that's a cross you'll have to bear.
The Spanish use mujer for wife, mujer also translates to woman. I would say thet if it's not your wife, it's simply woman. Works for me.
Ging (she's ginger)
Me Julie, innit!
Nah, your chain's too slack.
Not for me. See if Binners will have you back.
I call my "wife" Tazzy as that's his real name.

Bagpuss - do you have a fleet of houses to attach the fleet of porches to?
Is that lady on that there bike breaking wind I wonders??
Nah, your chain's too slack.Not for me. See if Binners will have you back.
It's a singlespeed too - no thanks 'luv'. 😯
Yes we can only afford beans as Binners uses all the spares money each month on having new bottom brackets put on his bike....

Still, at least he's not hora.....
the mrs
other half
or sometimes I do say wife if I can't be bothered explaining the situation to someone who's business it isn't.
try not to use partner cos not that keen on it.
small mercy indeed.....
Used to use partner, now use fiance but that sounds worse, only temporary though.
You could try "lover" best said in a somerset accent though
girlfriend. Partner sounds to me either same-sex or over 50 divorcee
daft isn't it ... we sometimes use 'partner' but hate it as much as everyone else seems to, and 'girlfriend/boyfriend' does start to feel a bit stupid in your 40s.. 😉 honestly, don't have an answer other than to say that getting married certainly isn't it!! 🙂

'Other half' is a good one!

Take your pick.
Woman?
Have you ever thought of travelling to broaden your horizons, nicduck1?
girlfriend.
partner sounds to straight.

😮
Giggidy!
I of course would never refer to a woman in terms of a commodity or possession, as I would of course have total respect for her right to be her own person and belonging to no-one.
Yes, I know, I know. I'm just open-minded and forward thinking like that. As well as being extremely intelligent, charming, sophisticated, considerate, sensitive and compassionate. Not to mention being well-buff and a great dancer. 😐
From an orderly queue, ladies.... 8)
why are you single then?
Ball and chain?
"Hi, this is SWMBO"
not that open minded if only the ladies get to queue 😉
Biatch innit.
why are you single then?
This is one of Life's Great Mysteries, Brakes. An unfathomable conundrum....
😐
I also think it's cos ladies generally just don't believe they are worthy of such perfection, and unwittingly I price myself out of the market somewhat... 🙁
my Nan is single?
fancy a go?
does she have a Yeovil top?
Does she have her own teeth?
I call my "wife" Tazzy as that's his real name.
thanks sweetie pie. Big beardie kisses XXX
p.s. my monster frontage will be ready for inspection in a couple of weeks so you can feel my knobbly then

No need for such disgusting filth on a Family Forum.

I call/refer to Ms crikey as my wife even though we're not married..
It just saves time.

loling, sara is mine!! she doesn't knows this, and one day we'll have a proper chat about it, but really, she's mine
Elf awwww, I'm amazed there isn't a elfette. I'll ask around, ok?
have you tried 'clatty midden', i've found that tends to go down a treat but might be more of a regional thing 😛
i suppose me beaatch is a bit strong but she does find it funny sometimes (when she isnt moaning about not being married after 15 years)
I'm amazed there isn't a elfette
The thought of a world with a female Elfinsafety scares the crap out of me!
its so easy
it's me bird
😈
Call her the mrs now. Called her bar wench once and never again!
Anything, absolutely anything is better than 'significant other', even 'my best friend and muse'
Elf awwww, I'm amazed there isn't a elfette. I'll ask around, ok?
Thanks Emsz! 😀

Don't start it's bad enough her leaving Muller rice's in me fridge without going on about when I'm going to settle down find a nice woman etc... 🙄
She never brings owt I actually like round, like beer and chocolate and stuff; no, it's Muller rices. 😐
Myself and a couple of lads who I work with used to refer to our other halves as 'Our Meg'.
At the time we had a particularly stupid apprentice who after working with us for a month said 'Isn't it weird that you three work together and all your wives have the same name'.
No you're stupid.
