What's in a name?

I had a hard time learning to say "my boyfriend" when I realized I was that serious about Pete. I had a hard time admitting that I'd trusted anybody with that much of my heart. Mostly to myself, I think. *wrygrin*

Now that I've finally caught the habit, I have to learn to say "my fiancee." Not that I'm objecting. *snoopydances*

And by the way, have you noticed how different it sounds if you talk about proposing, as opposed to propositioning?
