My son has recently moved in with his girlfriend, they are both in their early 20 and are so happy together it's lovely to watch them making their home together.

The problem is, I perhaps I'm being a little thick here, but where as I think of her as my DIL, well she isn't, and I'm not her MIL, she introduces me as Js mum, and I call her Js GF, but now things have moved on, and I feel she is part of the family, I want something a little more affectionate. But what ?

I hate 'partner' as it sounds like a business partnershp, and hate GF for people over 35, so my choice would always be 'other half''. When speaking about one another I think "my man" or "my lady" is a nice term to use.
