level. She refers to things as the "bestest". A lot of her actions and behaviors are not correspondent to her "maturity" level. Is there a proper term to describe this?

Why would there be a proper term? Perhaps there is a reason why she speaks and acts this way, perhaps she is exposed to children or adolescents all day long and so it rubs off. Maybe, even, she was traumatized by something that had happened in her life and so she has, unconsciously or not, decided to regress to a time in her life whereupon she did not experience the trauma or the stress of everyday living. She may need therapy, but most of all, she needs a supportive mate.

I would describe it as "being one's self" which is great. I see nothing wrong with it. There are millions of people out there who act and talk that way and they are so very often warm loving individuals. If you can't look past that then you need to take a good look at yourself and your maturity level.

You have no idea how lucky you are. My ex was old before her time and it just stunk. All joy was gone from her by age 40 and she has become a crone.
My present wife is in her early 40's and has the heart and spirit of a 21 year old. It just rules. Cherish the joy in your woman.

Maybe some psychologist can come up with a term, but one thing for sure, don't expect her to change! If you can't live with that, then cut your losses now.

If you are talking a diagnosable condition. Then no there isn't one for the description you are giving.

Peter Pan Syndrome.
She doesn't want to grow up.

I don't know about her, but you sound like you are a bit too uppity for me!

It's called poorly educated.

She may be trying to get down to your level! ;-)
