Don't they sound juvenile? There should be a word that you can use without being engaged married or lame (my other half, yikes)

Partner is okay, but mostly because it forces anyone you interact with to start trying to evaluate if you're gay, until you use pronouns. Partner also implies equal footing, and is kinda fun to say

Hubby is disgusting though.

They're juvenile, because they're affective terms, just like diminutives.

Classy.

"friend" is problematic. i mean, what is a friend, really? is this person you claim is a friend really your "friend"? do they fulfill exactly every characteristic that comes to mind when you think of the word?

ASK ME ABOUT VISITING PROSTITUTES IN CHINA AND FEELING NO SHAME. MY FRIEND IS SERIOUSLY THE (PATHETIC) YODA OF PAYING WOMEN TO TOUCH HIS (AND MY) DICK. THEY WOULDN'T DO IT OTHERWISE.
i think it became too complicated and everyone is back to boyfriend or girlfriend. I see "life partner" sometimes but that seems really silly
