RideWV - refer to her as your wife, and see if she's up for it. Use the titles without the paperwork.

Hmmm. I would feel awkward asking her if we could refer to each other as husband and wife w/o getting married. And our relationship works so well as it is being best friends but maintaining our separate homes with "visitation rights".....

Yes I know, juvenile and in poor taste but it has been fun.
In today’s environment, let them believe it. That’s job security

I'd expect nothing less.
My stepmom's middle name is Gay, and it's what almost everyonecalls her. She used to get a kick out of introducing herself to .y sister's friend's parents with: Hi, I'm Gay"
Oh, and she drives an Outback

Calif PhilDon't care for the term partner. Always introduce my girlfriend as my girlfriend. She doesn't mind it, to me it is the correct description.

Funny, my wifes middle name is Gay, she doesn't use it though, that's hilarious, considering we met in San Francisco...

Being in public safety, I think this is amazing and 100% on brand with this/that line of work. You have to have levity.

clubleaf206I wonder what sort of fun Jeff Foxworthy could have with this, seeing as how his wife’s first name is Gregg?
