I don’t know what to call her
the mother of my son’s three children.
Nothing sounds right; all the words
too awkward. Not a wife. Not a lover.
Significant other, too cumbersome
partner unfitting for their union.
Para-wife, I reply.
Why Me?
WHO IS THIS WEB SITE FOR?
Men and women who are in serious, committed relationships with a domestic partner, spousal equivalent, significant other, or same-sex union, where the “traditional marriage” between the couple is not an option. These committed and loving relationships may or may not include children from a previous union. To be called one’s “Para-Wife” or “Para-Hubby” is a loving alternative to the more traditional designations of the relationship.
