That's why I like to try to "take them back."<br /><br />Herrad - your support is so appreciated. Thanks!<br /><br />Doggies - I see that you, too, have relationship naming challenges. We need a new word altogether!Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995365444853477833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555205834524822081.post-3698991904586410642009-12-14T17:42:06.791-05:002009-12-14T17:42:06.791-05:00I'm so glad to hear this, Cranky.

We've been together... holy moly, it'll be 22 years in January... and we have a daughter, but we're not married. Boyfriend/girlfriend? Please, we're in our 50s. Spouse? Kind of implies marriage, doesn't it? Partner-in-life? To new-agey. I usually settle for partner, which I guess suggests 'he' is a 'her', but that's OK. Whose business is it, anyway? So, if you can say wife, go for it!zoomdoggieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576886847864593216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555205834524822081.post-34039663966012374322009-12-14T13:05:19.542-05:002009-12-14T13:05:19.542-05:00Hi Cranky,

I'm so glad the surgery was a success, although I feel for Skip...recovery can be really hard. I hope she heals well and quickly. I can't imagine being away from the pups! <br /><br />I love that you use the term wife, because of the reasons you wrote. It's true that there are such bad stereotypes, and I don't understand why people furrow their brows at the word wife, and fat for that matter. Yeah, full-figured, whatever! Our society has a way of changing words to mask the obvious, good for you!<br />I hope you have a wonderful week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
