I don’t know – what does SO mean?
I keep seeing the term SO in some messages. Could somebody enlighten me on what it stands for. I presume the term has something to do with wife or partner.

Hi Roberta, I understand the term to mean Supportive Other, meaning a partner who is aware and supportive of one of us.
I am fortunate enough to have a SO, my beautiful partner (a gg) who loves and supports me totally, in both girl and boy modes.
Hope this helps.
I wish you much love, peace and joy

I like ‘supportive other’ Roberta – but I think SO stands for ‘significant other’. I could be wrong but I’m sure I’ve seen that term used on other sites.
Actually I believe it is an abbreviation that is used in the broader community.

Hi I have also heard it described a significant other as well but maybe if we start something it could quite easily become supportive other

SO means “significant other – see detailed definitions on Wikpaedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_other – also at answers.com – http://www.answers.com/topic/significant-other
Specificaly for CDs and TSs see http://www.avitale.com/sotherlist.html
Annie – whose SO is definitely Significant, but not Supportive

Oh no I always thougth it stood for Straight Otherhalf LOL 😳 I must agree in whole significant other would be more likely to mean a little more. I love the forums great to see what others are going through and how they feel.

here is always the alternative, ‘Sod off’

[the answer to your questionRE the term S/O is as follows . It does mean SIGNIFICANT OTHER, however in my case i have allways described my SO as my ROCK for she is the true strength in our relationship and marrage,she has been with jacquie for 30 years . Ive been blessed . Honesty is certainly the key.from day one .

Hi, well it seems the accepted meaning of SO is significant other, but for me it will always be supportive other because that what my SO is.
Love Mel

I must thank all my friends for answering this enquiry. I like the Significant Other, as my wife is definetly significant in my life.

So, we’re agreed that ‘Sod Off’ isn’t correct then?
