Thanks so much for reading and sharing your experience, Robin! I really appreciate this.
Your wife describing herself as your wife is a great example of describing the other person's relationship rather than using gendered terms for you.
At least for me, certain terms like dad or father have a lot of cultural or familial weight that's not even about the gender of the term. I can totally understand Papi fitting better than Dad for some people. If it works, that's great!
