Partners!Ā Because whatever else you are on top of that, if you donāt think youāre partners youāre not in a relationship.
Your gay spouse?Ā Partners!Ā YourĀ ālive-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 itās a real relationship then youāre stillĀ partners first and everything else after.
Because there are some things partners donātĀ do to each other than spouses, boy/girlfriends, hookups, and other vanilla types shouldnāt and donāt.
