Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends “girlfriends”, I have to wonder how women with actual girlfriends have been dealing with this lol

    On this vein, I was a policeman 10 years ago… and was talking about my awesome partner* (a policewoman) to a friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in a bit. And she totally thought I was talking about my ‘girlfriend partner’… I still chuckle a little thinking about it.

      Haha, I was half joking because I only know police refering to partners from US police shows. Nice that I actually had valid point :D
