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.
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
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

I like to use ‘datemate’ cause the term seems really cute to me
