I (37F) recently lost my partner (37M) and I’m not sure how to say it. Do I say “my bf passed away” or “my ex-bf passed away?”
Post Body

It’s been more than a month now but it feels like it’s just yesterday. I’ve told most of friends and family of what happened and everyone has been supportive. Except for this one insensitive jerk who I’m not exactly friends with, but we just happen to mingle in the same group. Here’s how the convo went:

Me: My boyfriend passed away J: He’s not your boyfriend anymore, cause he’s dead. Me: (I wanted to say a lot of things, but tried my best to calm myself) I don’t care what you think, but for me he still is. J: Like I said, he’s not anymore.

But now it got me thinking: if I say ex-boyfriend, it would mean we broke up before he died. And I don’t like that. Am I even making sense here? It probably sounds stupid. I hate that guy to bits.
