    Question: how do folks refer to a "primary" that has not been romantic for a long long time?

    Thanks. You could be right, but that is one of the things I am appreciating about this community… the openness to other ideas, and the primacy of each person being to define for themselves the nature of their relationship, as long as everyone involved understands and agrees.
