Here is another thought on the issue: If I say 'girlfriend' does that mean I love her Less since I did not refer to her as my 'partner'?
Sorry I now say my wife and very very happy in doing so. -----Original Message----- From: Erika L.

Saying partner puts no sexual connotation to it, and gay people (please don't shoot the messenger) could use it with "panache and style".
