    I’m straight and married but I say Partner because “wife” and “husband” sounds like a human property arrangement.

    I know at least one other straight couple who says partner because they don’t want to get into a long discussion about why they’re not getting married

      Agreed, same situation and we both refer to the other as partner. All our peers generally do the same and it’s very normal (UK).
