OH/other half

kumate_champ07

why cant people just say partner? its not like your half a person. you are in a partnership/relationship with another whole/full person.
if you were a siamese twin into incest the term might be applicable

"Other half"... Snort! You couldn't find a better description. You do indeed become 'half a person'. Pathethic fear of lonliness and death, disguised as 'lurve'... I laugh heartily. And incest rocks!

kumate, kumate, kumate. It seems obvious to Pighead that you've never been in love. Let love into your heart champ07 and then you will see what the people mean when they say "other half"

Then you will see that love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
That is just being "in love" which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches,
they find that they are one tree and not two.

Sorry about that, Pighead got a bit carried away there.

I hate when people refer to their wife / girlfriend / husband / boyfriend as their OH. Grrrr! :mad: It's not like you were just half before you met them. You were whole, you still are!!! What's worse though is DH etc, darling. Ugh, it makes me feel sick!

Sugar plum fairy is just lovely!

Partner sounds like "life partner", which to me is a gay expression.
Or it means business partner.

Just say BF, GF, wife, husband.

cynical are we.

Yes I also hate the term OH.

Girlfriend/Boyfriend, Fiancé, Husband/Wife, Spouse, Fcukbuddy etc have been used for year.

Why must this suddenly change and everyone is an OH or Partner these days???

Worked for Larry Fishburne. He's on the Vegas one now. He hated being called Samuel L. Jackson.

It shouldn't cost you anything if it's real love. Except maybe half of your heart.

Dropping a mention of your harem into the conversation is more interesting.

If you have a "partner" you have caught the Ghey;)

Neamhshuntasach

Isn't that from a film with Nicholas Cage? But i think a saint said it first.

tallaght01

I can just about cope with OH.

BUt what gets me is this poxy DH, DD, DS shoite.

Took me ages to work out what it means. I accept that it's shortsighted, but when anyone sends me "I was out with me DH" or something in an email, I just automatically think there;s something wrong with them.

When I were a lad, you just had a bird, a sister, a daughter, a ma, a granny, and aunt or a wife

They were the only signifiant females in anyone's life :pac:

minidazzler

What are DH, DD, DS???? They sound like bewb sizes:D

I usually say "better half"
..and she is.

Cum bucket.

Lol at Cumbucket. The Chan's definitely have a better name with Cum-Dumpster though:D

Not that I would ever refer to a woman as such:D

"Partner" always makes me laugh. Especially when used by a 21 year old, usually a girl.

Eh, just cos he got you knocked up when you were 19 and hasn't left yet, still doesn't mean he's anything more than a boyfriend, love.

OneArt

I call it the Person Who Buys Me Stuff.

ashyle

Dylan Moran last night - a couple is an organism where both people are only half as smart as the most intelligent person

candy-gal1

Nevyn

You're only half a person?

Partner is the word middle-aged people use instead of boy/girlfriend.

Azureus

i use all the disgusting pet names like hunny, sweetie, baby, darlin.. all with a sense of piss-takey fun tho and he does the same, only to eachother not ever to anyone else!

otherwise its *insert name here*, 'the boyfriend', or 'himself' and thatll do em!

other half? hes my plus one at best

lol I would use words like sweetie, hun etc. But only to my OH. If introducing her to company its "This is *firstname*" and thats it, they will make the connection if they know me and if not it doesnt matter tbh

Lorrs33

I just conformed with the people using OH on here, I'd rather say boyfriend. Partner, to me, is someone you live with.
