    I like to use partner even though I’m in a hetero relationship just cuz it sounds better.

    Also just to normalize it.

    Calling my fiance my partner makes me feel like we are a pair of ranch hands in the wild west, instead of two introverted weebs :3

      Same. I say my partner, because also girlfriend sounds too casual for what we have, but we aren’t married. It’s just very useful and gender neutral term.
