Sir. šŸ˜‚

Partners!Ā  Because whatever else you are on top of that, if you donā€™t think youā€™re partners youā€™re not in a relationship.

Your gay spouse?Ā  Partners!Ā  YourĀ ā€œlive-inā€ girlfriend of 40 years?Ā  Partners!Ā  Your one-night hookup?Ā  Partners!Ā  Your cowboy detectives?Ā  Partners!Ā  Darkly D/S/M/S relationship where one of you consensually chains the other to the bed and never lets them up?Ā  If itā€™s a real relationship then youā€™re stillĀ partners first and everything else after.

Because there are some things partners donā€™tĀ do to each other than spouses, boy/girlfriends, hookups, and other vanilla types shouldnā€™t and donā€™t.
