    Partner always works! :slight_smile: It'd probably be good to ask your partner though to see what they'd like.

    I tend to use partner for everyone, as it suits my relationship style best. I've heard enbyfriend, which I consider cute. If someone wanted to call me that I'd be fine, but as far as I know, both my partners call me partner.

    I like partner. I know that phrase isn't used so much by teenagers, but it generally works!
