My boyfriend doesn't like it when I introduce him to people as my "boyfriend" he wants to be called partner. Men can be so silly and fussy sometimes, is there any difference between boyfriend and partner?! I almost got into an accident with my daughters a couple of weeks ago, it was so scary I'm too anxious to drive my car. So he's picking me up from work until I get over my fear, I was walking out of the office with my manager when he came yesterday. I introduced them, we chatted for a bit and left "why did you say I'm your boyfriend" he said when got inside the car. I was just like "you're too old to be my son" he rolled his eyes at me I almost laughed, men will give you the perfect roll when they're irritated. "We've been dating for years, we live together and have baby so I thought I'll be a lot more than just a boyfriend to you" He sulked all the way home, he didn't lighten up until I made his fav food, gave him a few kisses and a back rub. I don't really mind if he refers to me as his girlfriend even though we've been together years as long as he acknowledges me in public!
