Boyfriend or Fiance

10102020, on August 28, 2019 at 9:28 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 22
I don't always say fiancé and I the only one? Maybe i'm not use to it but I feel more comfortable saying boyfriend.

    In the beginning, I would say boyfriend sometimes. However, I prefer fiance over boyfriend because it denotes the seriousness of the relationship. We had been together for about 5 years when he proposed and we are in our late 20s. It started feeling silly calling this man the same term as far less serious relationships I had in high school and college.

    I try to always refer to FH by his first name in conversation. Part of me feels like I'm bragging by calling him fiance!

    Understandable I think I am going to shift but i'm in the phase of fiancé sounding foreign. We are freshly engage ( 1 month and 2 years of dating). Thanks for commenting! Fiance does have a better ring to it

    I refer to him either by name or my fiance. Mostly because I'm excited to be engaged and also because we have 3 kids (my oldest he adopted 3yrs ago) and I feel judged by those who don't know our "status"

    I used to feel so juvenile calling him my boyfriend when I knew we were going to get married lol, I feel like people don't take you seriously when you say "me and my boyfriend" or something like that. Like they just assume it's just a fling? lol I can't stop saying fiancé now but I'm really just waiting until I can say husband Smiley shame

    Same here- I called FH "boyfriend" for months after we got engaged. We still slip up and say gf/bf or just use first names. We do however mentioned we're engaged to new co-workers (we work in the same office), so as to not have people wonder about us lol.

    It does sound juvenile lol. Id rather call him by his first name at this point I know I will get use to it eventually. We have a 1 year before we say I do.

    Sometimes I call FH boyfriend when I am talking about something and he goes "so I am your boyfriend now?" I say well yeah you still are lol. When we introduce or talk to other people about ourselves we say fiance.

    I can’t wait to say fiancé! Although I’m sure the habit of saying boyfriend will stick around for a little bit.
