boyfriend-hood?

Question

I heard this word the other day that was basically equal to "boyfriend-hood" or "boyfriend/girlfriend relationship". I understood it in context but now can't recall what it was. It went something like this: Espero que nuestro novi----- dure mucho tiempo.

It was someone from Central America-specifically Honduras. Which might help because it's probably some sort of jerga o modismo.

Anybody familiar with it?

Answer 1

Might it be noviazgo? It means 'relationship' or 'engagement'. Kind of like novio means both 'boyfriend' and 'fiancé'.

Answer 2

Noviazgo! That's it! Thanks

Aside:

We had a thread earlier that used the term amigovio (slang-not a real word) which is a combination of amigo and novio. Friends with benefits as we say in the US.
