Just interesting in the general consensus - when does a boyfriend become a partner? When you've been together a certain amount of time? When you're living together?
And when do you become "in a relationship" as opposed to dating? (not two weeks such as certain FB friends, but whole other story there!)
I've been with boyfriend six months. We are in a relationship, not dating - we do family things, he's my first in an emergency (and vice versa) we are a couple. But I would never describe him as partner (even as DP on here) and corrected someone in real life when they referred to him as it last week (they said your partner, I said "oh you mean my boyfriend" style correction nothing major)
I also saw this touched on on a previous thread - so what's the MN consensus?
