Semantics: Your Kid's Significant Other

My oldest daughter has been living with her latest boyfriend for the last couple of years. Nice guy, she has dad's approval (not that that matters). Calling him her boyfriend doesn't seem adequate, but he's not a son-in-law either (yet). I've been going with "boyfriend-in-law", which seems to amuse everyone. Any other suggestions?

There's the classic POOSSLQ (Person of Opposite Sex Sharing Living Quarters). Doesn't pronounce all that well, unfortunately.

I call my boyfriend's mother my "mother-out-law." It's entertaining because she's not much of an "outlaw" type.

Ask them what you they would like to be called... if boyfriend works for him... it should be fine for you...

You could also go for the non-specific, "my daughter's partner" or "life-partner"

I'd just stick with boyfriend, there's nothing wrong with that. Like Charlatan said, another option would be partner I guess.

"The guy she's screwing". Wouldn't that make everyone so comfortable? You're at the dinner table, eating with your daughter, her boyfriend, your wife. "So honey, how have things been going with you and the guy you're screwing?" I think it would really strengthen those intra-family bonds.

My old father was EXACTLY like that when me and my sister still lived at home. I got off pretty easy, but my sister was always in for embarassement whenever she had a new boyfriend. When the guy was getting used to the crazy comments, my father got bored with him and stopped bothering.

It was always at the table, too.. like a "Darn, we need to fix the springs on your bed.. the bouncing noise HAS to stop" after my sister's boyfriend had spent the night home.
Once, the FIRST thing he did when meeting a new one was to stare at him with a totally straight face and ask "How do you feel about going down on a woman?"

Crazy dad...

That's funny as hell. He sounds like the father in the movie "Meet the Fockers", played by Robert De Niro.

Yeah, I think it had became a game between the two... of course my sis would warn her boyfriend before-hand that my father was a nut case and that anything he says should be taken with a grain.. or a mountain, of salt. And my father, well, that made him more challenging for him to try to make the poor guys spit their milk out of their nose at his crazy comments.
