Lol,if it doesn`t matter why say it? I don`t/won`t call my hubby my bf, he is my husband.

i completely agree with `ilovemyfamily` i don`t find marriage all that important because people screw it up so much by getting married and then divorced 4 months later! i think its better to wait and see if you can raise kids with the person first. who cares about tradition!

Spouse` in the dictionary: 1. either member of a married pair in relation to the other; one`s husband or wife. –verb (used with object) 2. Obsolete. to join, give, or take in marriage. Sorry you have to be married to be considered `spouse` otherwise you can use terms such as partner, c/l partner, significant other, or still b.f./g.f etc.

It only annoys me because, it is grammatically incorrect. I couldn`t care less what the intent is behind it. I don`t call a baby dog a kitten. I wouldn`t call an unmarried significant other a husband/wife or spouse.

I have been with my BF for some time and are having a child together in August. We have lived together before and my 4 year old calls him daddy. BUT... I do not want to be reffered to as his wife. I am NOT. I am not interested in getting married. But, that`s just me. The title husband or wife goes along with the institution and I have not been commited by law or God and don`t want to be reffered to with that title. :)

I am guilty of it, but I really don`t care if it bothers someone else... We`re `common law` and truly that`s good enough for me. We`re completely devoted to each other he didn`t `knock me up.` We never wanted to get married until we had two children, because that was `our plan.` Neither of us are religious, and I don`t really care for the ceremony to be completely honest, I think it`s a waste of money in our case. When we have our 2 children, or hell, I could even wait until we`re done having children, we`ll go on a vacation somewhere of their choice and get married in front of them, to show them our love for each other. We`ve been together for a long time, never broke up, never cheated, hell we never leave each others sides. Just because we don`t have a piece of paper stating that we`re `married` does not show a lack of commitment to each other.

A spouse is defined by marriage or common law marriage, so those people calling themselves spouses when they have been gf/bf are dumb lol because that isnt what it means!

My boyfriend and I are really serious,but we`ve both had bad experiences with a previous marriage..We just aren`t ready to do that since we both kinda figure that things are great now,why get married and mess it up...lol I know alot of people would ask `Why have children together if you`re not ready to get married?` Well,we ARE ready for the commitment part of it,just we feel that things were good in our other relationships before we got married and that`s when things fell apart. I don`t call him my spouse or husband,but he IS my significant other and my hunny..So I call him my SO or my DH-darling hunny:)

Personally, I feel that just because a guy knocks you up doesn`t mean he is your husband...it takes waaaay more than that to make a marriage! I should know, some guy did knock me up LOL.
