[–] pixxelkick@lemmy.world 113 points 2 years ago (2 children) 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 permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago Sounds too casual My partner and I just had this conversation recently. We don't want to get married because we don't see a point in bringing bureaucracy into our relationship. But we've been through too much to just be "dating" still. So, they're my partner permalink fedilink source parent [–] Caesium@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I like to use 'datemate' cause the term seems really cute to me permalink fedilink source parent
