Have you adjusted to the word "fiancé(e)"?

We use husband and wife when we're alone. It feels so much more meaningful than fiance(e) which really just feels silly.

I tried to use fiance in public and 70% of the time, I ended up interrupting my own sentence with "god that still feels weird to say". Mostly I just refer to him as my boyfriend, unless it's someone new, then the first time it's "this is my fiance," and after that i revert to calling him my bf. Feels less pretentious.

I feel weird calling him my fiance. We did date for over 8 years when we got engagement. We have people correcting us because we still say boyfriend and girlfriend haha.

We’ve been calling each other husband and wife for years. He says he calls me wife cause “it’ll happen sooner than later so why not start calling you that now “. Other than that we call each other by our nicknames.

6 years of calling him boyfriend, so it has been a challenging 2 months of remembering to say Finacé. I figure by the time I get used to it, it will be time to call him husband

My fiancée and I have been together now almost 7 years and have 3 children together, so it’s hard to just call him my boyfriend with all that history. I am not a huge fan of fiancée because it feels very braggy-like I’m trying to get attention. Most people that know us already call him my husband anyways, so I have a feeling
it will come fairly easy

I’ve had a difficult time with it so far. I usually still call him my boyfriend and people correct me, lol.

Depends on who I'm talking to... I feel like I'm being obnoxious saying fiance so I revert to boyfriend and then people are looking at the ring like huh?

Easily! We actually already call each other husband and wife (mostly jokingly) because we do already feel married, own a house, joint accounts, the whole nine yards. We feel married already in our hearts but transitioning from boyfriend to fiance was easy and a no-brainer.

Nope. Together six years as boyfriend and girlfriend, and only five months engaged, I still find myself calling him boyfriend. Then I feel awkward when I add "uh... I mean, fiance..."

I mostly just stick with partner or use his name with other people. Occasionally I use fiancé but it's rare, it just sounds weird

I usually just refer to him by name. I don't know why, but I hate using the term fiancé! It makes me feel like I'm being... pompous/obnoxious or something when I use it. I thought I was weird about it, but he also feels the same way... after reading the comments on this, I'm glad to know others feel the same way!

We have a hard time saying fiancé/ fiancée because we say husband or wife 🤦🏻‍♀️
In his work 90% are married and kind of just assume others are, so especially since we live together have two pups and a house they just assume we are so they all say it so we fell into the habit.

I like "fiance/ee" in theory and it alsways makes me happy when he calls me his fiancee, but i usually just end up using "partner." I guess calling him my "fiance" often feels like I'm sharing more personal information than I want to. We're also on the young side and I'm in grad school, so most of the people I interact with are still a more in the student mindset, which tends to mean that serious, committed relationships are less common and some people seem uncomfortable with the idea? Idk I've just gotten some shocked reactions to "fiance" so I've pretty much stopped using it

Same, it sounds very fussy lol.

The word fiancé just always makes me think of that episode of Seinfeld where they say “fiansaaaaaaay” and so I can’t even take the word seriously at all!

It took me forever lol

I'm so glad I'm not crazy😂 I don't and probably wont it sounds weird. I remember being in 6th grade and everyone was getting engaged cause it was the cool thing to do and everyone had a "fiance'" So now I can't take it serious. Spoiler alert: none of those couples ever made it to 7th grade let alone marriage.

No I haven't adjusted. I didn't like calling him my boyfriend before bc we've been together so long and we're in our mid 30's. Now it's even worse bc I feel weird calling him my fiance too. I just use his name or call him my husband a lot of times.

Totally agree. I've been engaged for almost 3 months and it still feels weird when I am saying it to other people

When I am talking to people I dont know I call him that, other then that no, it's still weird to say.
