So a woman in her 50s is supposed to refer to her equally old significant other as her "boyfriend"? Seems odd to me. "Partner" seems more dignified and has a connotation of "in it for life".


I prefer it. YMMV.

She could also use "lover", and creep out the young people who don't want to think about older people as sexual beings...
