Strictly speaking .... he is not actually a boy is he! Therefore it's not strictly speaking ... a lie to say 'no he's not my boyfriend'. These days most people seem to go with partner or spouse rather than boyfriend/girlfriend ..... so you could use this in your favour.

Failing that Jane ... just tell them he IS your boyfriend, he's really good in bed and you both can't wait to have sex all over Europe!

Time to live your life your way. Pouty faces and dropped bottom lips aside ... you're entitled to be happy and if your man makes you happy, then go for it!

"Life is too short to spend with people who suck the happiness out of you!"
