Which BYC member scares you?

[Hayden Goseek]

Does DW know about GF?

There is an old toast "To our wives and girlfriends. May they never meet."
GF became DW 23 years ago.

I almost got in trouble over that.

Hospital worker wanted to know my relationship to patient. She's my girlfriend. Well, legally that causes issues. The correct answer is spouse. She also didn't like roommate, squeeze or a few of the others. Unfortunately, I aggravated her. But she didn't ask for me to prove that we were married.

I mean, same last names. Who goes to the ER to hang out?

Why do hospitals ask stupid questions? Don't respond with HIPPA. I don't like that either.

Easy there, Isa. Not kissing, legit cousins.

HIPPA was a BIG deal about ten years ago. Now still the law but not enforced as much, especially with Covid.
Nowadays the (politically) correct answer may be "significant other", especially in the city.

We have the opposite problem sometimes. Married with different last names. (Goseek & Chick ) Now that DD is grown it doesn't matter as much.

I almost got nailed with that a few years back. I was prepping someone for a procedure by pulling the sheets back and shaving their groin. I "assumed" the person at the bedside was the spouse, but I asked anyway. It was a neighbor who gave them a ride! Never assume, always ask.

Yep. I can understand that. Although it doesn't raise eyebrows as much as it once did. Especially with two professionals in the house.

Yes, we are both married.
Yes, to each other.

A ride and a show!

Weeee!
