    I love this feature - I have separate vibration patterns for my wife and my girlfriend, so I can easily tell if a text is from an important person without taking it out of my pocket (and I refuse to wear a watch)

    Your idea sounds cool, but then I’d have to learn Morse code which doesn’t sound fun to me

      Hope your lawyer has a special buzz as well.

        They're probably open and felt the need to mention it specifically. I know people like that as well.

          Would you feel the same thing about "the need to mention it specifically" if they had mentioned their boyfriend?

          Your phrasing reminded me of what casual mentions of a same-sex partners used to elicit, when heteronormativity was more prevalent.

            People choose to be in open relationships

              People also choose to be bigots.

                If that was directed at me, you might want to think about it a bit longer
