Reject boyfriend and girlfriend, embrace the words beau, lover, paramour, intended, sweetheart, beloved, etc.

@classicspilled I prefer 'main squeeze'. ;)

@classicspilled 'There are great industries of psychotherapy addressing our difficulties in "relationships" -- that pallid word, the very timidity of which makes substantial attachments impossible. One has to have a tin ear to describe one's great love as a relationship. Did Romeo and Juliet

@classicspilled I read a fanfiction once where the author used the word beau over and over again. Refused to say lover, soulmate, partner, boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse, adored, etc. It was pretty funny how old that word got so fast when it felt so exotic.

@classicspilled Embrace the word β€˜shagpiece’

@classicspilled "Concubine" also needs to make a comeback. What we call "cohabitating" in the states (or "living in sin" down South) is, very appropriately, still called living "en concubinage" in France.

@classicspilled Embrace Paramore

@classicspilled Or just marry.

@classicspilled I personally like fella and main squeeze

@classicspilled Works for me.

@classicspilled I like that lol

Imagine loving a man so much that you literally want him entirely inside you and you want to become the protector of everything that is pure in him so you grow a child in your womb for 9months and birth it and breastfeed it, made from his DNA

Getting older just means realizing the old fashioned cake donut was always the best one
