Oh, and would someone help me with the math here and define the term “partner”?

>>A Scottish dad reported missing by his partner of 27 years turned up in the US married to a secret lover.

Malcolm McGregor’s family called in cops after he vanished from the home he shared with childhood sweetheart Cheryl Cowie, 37, in Motherwell, Scotland. The town is about 15 miles southeast of Glasgow.

But the shameless McGregor was seen beaming in wedding snaps after fleeing to Utah to marry new wife Bell Valek after wooing her on Facebook.

Cops launched a hunt when the 38-year-old failed to return home to worried Cowie and their two kids.<<

I’m thinking only Priests, Youth Ministers, Cubmasters, and related child rapists routinely use this term, given the ages of the principals when they “partnered” up.

It’s what LGBT folks have used for a really long time and now is very common in describing hetero relationships too.
