to friends, family and close acquaintances, I refer to him as "my boy" or "the boy", which might be a little weird because I call my daughter "my girl", but I do it anyway. when mentioning him to someone with whom I'm less than familiar, I'll call him my boyfriend.
he's away in the military, and I've been left in charge of all of his stateside belongings and responsibilities, and when making a call on his behalf, I do feel kind of silly calling him my "boyfriend". for whatever reason, it suddenly feels like grade school terminology, something that's sufficient for casual moments but when business arises, is all too meaningless.
he has signed documents which give me authority to do these things, at least as far as the army is concerned (though not the MVA!), but I still really feel embarrassed about assuming any rights to his private matters when using the word "boyfriend". |
