I like the word symbiote.
At least its not partner.

My experience is that it is sometimes used for a straight relationship but usually one where they have a child or children together, and obviously live together.
Most times, though, that is used by the gays.

I never heard any straight person use the term "partner".

My Daddy always pronounced it, “Pahd-nah”

I've heard some straight very corporate ladder climbers say it.

Yes. Liberal queefs use it. They hate the institute of marriage, so they say "partner".

Do not think I have ever used that term...GF, Fiance, dating..but not partner.
To be fair my sis and her wife hate the word partner, but they are not liberal at all.

When I hear partner my mind always thinks of two cops partnered.

One day he's telling me about this "partner" and to my great relief it turns out it's his wife. I really was relieved but kind of felt like an a-hole. Later in that same conversation he started telling me about his travels with his ex boyfriend.
Definitely a gay thing

Pretty sure it's a gay thing
And possibly a UK thing

The guy follows whatever the term the girl chooses to use. If not, they aren’t a couple for long. Easily not a hill to die for.

Bingo
Girlfriend for a multi year adult relationship can seem middle school-ish or lacking formality for some folks who are serious but unmarried
