Partner was the terminology used to describe gay people co-habiting in the 80's.

I'm married and I have a wife.

Before I was married she was my fiance.

Before that we were seeing each other.

At no time were we ever partners and when someone from yoghurt knitting central calls we have to constantly remind them.

Kicks soap box away.

If unmarried:

Girlfriend
Other half
Missus
Lady
Bird
'Er indoors

Depending on who I'm conversing with. Never, ever 'partner'.
