I've had this question for the longest time now. Its been a question that I've pondered at times and then as it had no resonance to me discarded but now I'm in this situation. I've been with my girlfriend (partner, whatever) for a while now. I love her obviously and she's now carrying my child. The problem is, what do I call her? Usually that depends on the situation and the company we're in. Around friends she's my babymama ( a term she loves by the way, note obvious sarcasm), which was coined by older brother, around my family she's my partner or whatever, and around other people she's my girlfriend. Now I know that I want to marry her at some point in the future, but no is not the time in spite of the external pressure we both receive but that's for another blog entry.
I have no problem with any of the above titles, she does. She is upset that I refer to her as my girlfriend due to its juvenile meaning and immediate association with high schoolish relationships. I have no idea how to respond to this simply because in my mind, its like what the hell am I suppose to call you then? As of this post, I have not come up with an alternative to girlfriend, much to her chagrin. Oh well, at least Manchester United will probably win the Manchester derby and open up a 9 point lead on Chelsea this weekend!

Why not call her something like 'the mother of my child'. Baby momma sounds
like you just picked her up off the street and 'things happened'.
While I think girlfriend may have jouvenille conotations, I also think there
is a sweet innocent allure for that name.
well, you can always call her wifey...and marry her...bwaaaaaaahaahaahaa
I coudldn't figure out how to edit, so I had to create a new comment...
FTR, I hate 'partner'. I am not sure why. It makes it sound like they could be anything or anyone to you...kind of like 'friend', but less friendly.
