Director of Unspecified Feelings
Fictional launch letter
Dear Duck,
We have been seeing each other for nine months, but they dislike labels. What should I call this?
— Acting Partner
Dear Director of Unspecified Feelings,
The label is less important than the operating terms. Are you exclusive? Reliable? Making plans? Permitted to exist in daylight?
Ask those questions. State what arrangement you want. If the terms do not suit you, declining the position is allowed. Nine months is a long probationary period for a role with no benefits and an on-call rota.
