say my boy/girlfriend or say their actual name? I hate it when I'm talking to a friend and I know they have a boy/girlfriend and I know the bf/gf but they still refer to them as bf/gf. Just say their name! It's so annoying to me. I never refer my guy as my bf unless it's the first time ever mentioned but from there on, I use his name when talking to others about him.
What are your toughts about it?

I agree. As I see it, it's demeaning to the friend you're talking to. It's like your keeping your spouse to yourself and shutting everyone else out.

I prefer to use the NAME of my significant other ... and not to just say "He is my boyfriend". This is especially true since I am definitely over a half-century old, and we both have lived different and separate lives ... including careers, education, and other things. With myself (Female) being Retired Military .. and he has lived life otherwise ... this is just RESPECT for the man (which I am dating at this time).

I use his name... everyone knows he is my BF.. besides it sounds like the gals have a hard time finding or keeping a BF so they continously refer to the guy as her BF... "I have a boyfriend . la de da"

I totally know what you're saying. I feel the exact same way. I always say his name if the people I'm around knows him.

Unless its family or friends, I refer to him as my husband.

Around my good buddies who know her, I say her name. Around random people or casual friends, I say my girlfriend.
