I am engaged and was wondering if I can call my boyfriend my fiancee. The dictionary defines the word as 'a betrothed woman'.

fiance=the man
fiancee=the woman
But they are pronounced the same, I believe. Just spelled different.

A betrothed man is a fiance, a betrothed woman is a fiancee.

Yes you can refere to his as your fiancée. what else would you call him, he's not your husband yet, and he's not your boyfriend anymore. The dictionary people should change their definition of that. A Betrothed person.

No, technically not. A man is a "fiance" and a woman is a "fiancee". They are pronounced the same, but spelled differently.

If you have a ring and a date he is referred to as your fiance. Fiancee is a female.

Yeah it is ok to call him you fiance`. It is pretty much accepted that when a woman speaks of her intended husband she refers to him as her fiance and vice versa. No worries. But if it does just keeping calling him your boyfriend or future husband.

It is common for two people to refer to each other as fiancee, regardless of gender.

Fiancé is the engaged man and fiancée is the engaged woman.
