Definitions by Stacy Kassin

Describes a heterosexual couple over the age of 50 who are in a committed, long term, monogamous relationship but do not want to legally get married.
Much more than boyfriend/girlfriend, yet not partner, significant other, life partner. A completely new term and meaning not used before to describe other terms. This is a much needed term in today’s changing landscape of family structures. This is not a term for a short term mature relationship. It means living like a married couple wholly without the legal paperwork.

“Let me introduce you to my Evermate, Stacy.”
