[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s also gender neutral.[/quote] +1 It's just a more inclusive term, period, and easier to say than significant other. Is it really such an imposition to use inclusive language?[/quote] It's useful if you're talking to someone you don't know well and you don't want to make assumptions about their gender or sexuality, but why do you need to use inclusive language when referring to yourself? Do you not want others to know you are married or not? Do you not want others to know your gender or the gender of your significant other? All it says is that you're a human in some kind of relationship with another human, and the specifics of that relationship are something you're not willing to make public. It's vague and non-specific, which will leave many people assuming you are not as committed or important to one another as you might like others to think.[/quote]
