You can call your boyfriend boyfriend if that is what he is to you.

Is he a toy boy MU?

He might be :A:

Hehe you're only as old as the man you feel (or whatever the phrase is )

I hope you have a lot higher criteria than that!

I do! Although it mainly revolves around intellect.

Not that I am connecting correct grammar to actual intellect - although it is a good start

On here I would often use OH, because I don't want to say "Cyril". tomiel doesn't work either because he isn't.

In "real life" I would say "Cyril" almost always or my boyfriend, but as he is over twice 22 and we have been together for a long time he has started saying partner i.e. this is my partner Cyril and a couple of times I have used other half. (I especially hate partner.)

Other people who know us as a couple have taken to calling him husband i.e. I've just been chatting to your husband.

Sometimes when talking to someone I like to make it clear that I am not trying to chat them up, less and less often these days, so I need to make some reference to a stable relationship.

I love that song and the lack of irony :rotfl:

If you look at it from the point of view that it was written by somebody who doesn't know what irony is then it is ironic!

I use correct grammar when needed, when on MSE or chatting to friends it is not so my slang/dialect comes out. It would not be a main concern when choosing a life long partner.

I do use the term other half in real life as well. To me this is what he is as he completes me and has helped me to become the person that I am.

I use correct grammar and punctuation, spelling etc other than mistakes of course. I don't see why e-mails etc shouldn't be correct English.

Although it's not a main concern of mine, it would get you to the top of the pile

It is just as easy to type in 'slang' as it is to use correct grammar.

On a forum such as this, it is all that others can see - so being pretty is less of an option
