My answer: “We are together.” I’ve always believed a relationship is 50-50 and both side gotta give it 100. That can’t happen in a partnership. But that CAN happen when you’re together.
If I were Baldo I would be preparing to protect my head with my arms and hands as that soccer ball is probably going to be heading pretty fast in that direction.
after almost half a century together I assure you all if you are not friends first, sharing interests, you will never become partners…a firm relationship, like a strong building, begins with the foundation.
Husband & I were in friends in the same group (yearbook) in college. I was dating a guy, he was dating 3 women. We both loved movies- old & new – and set up to go to a midnight movie together (as a date) after work one Friday night. On paper we were a terrible match – different religions, different ethnic backgrounds, my family believed women can do/be anything – his family believed in traditional family roles, my family ate home on holidays – his family ate out (this is a big difference, believe it or not), my family gave small gifts on gift occasions – his family gave multiple large gifts – which went along with my family being much more conservative with money than his family, and the biggest problem of all that I found out after we married – his family had hand soap at the kitchen sink, my family just used a bit of dish soap if we washed our hands there.
We dated 4 years, were engaged 2 years – the joke was was that we would be married for 1 year & at our wedding friends were taking bets on how many days to months the marriage would last.
We have been married 41 years & everything worked out as we are the perfect match for each other with similar love of crafts, history, movies (especially old ones), big band music, & respect for each other. We each will do anything to make the other happy – I know more about James Bond, his big favorite especially the books – than any one, let alone any woman should know & he knows more about Louisa May Alcott than any man should know. He also can get my computers to do things that they cannot do – I have a lot of software that does not run after Win XP and my computers have virtual XP machines in them so that I can continue to use the software. If one of us wins an award for needlework, wood work, etc. we both are excited and support each other in all our works – arts, writing, actual job work, etc. We are both 18th century reenactors due to his interest in it.
That is how it should be – we are two halves of a whole.

I don’t want to be “that guy”…but that ground can’t possibly be dry enough to sit on, with all that snow still around

It reminds me of a line from “North By Northwest”. Eva Marie Saint: “Is that a proposition?”- Cary Grant: “No, it’s a proposal.”

They can be BF and GF and still be partners.

they’re in high school. No reason to be ‘partners’ yet.

It depends on what your definition of “Are” is ??
Or, maybe it’s the definition of “Partners” ?

Teams have more than two players, don’t they? This doesn’t bode well.
