Straights who use "partner"

I am just going to assume you’re some flavor of pervert or secretly gay every time I hear this

my flavor is banana, bacon and peanut butter sandwich

I like it. I hope it becomes the norm. Saying ``my girlfriend''/``my boyfriend'' has cringey teenager vibes. Who says ``boy'' or ``girl'' in any other context? It's also a subtle brag. The word partner is not loaded with anything. It reduces the role of the other party in a relationship to its common, portable role. You don't often need the granularity of gender to mention the role of a partner, unless you're specifically talking about having sex.

No one is going to confuse you for being gay. Faggots aren't unkempt neckbeards.

Far preferable to 'SO' or 'hubby'

JunJun never expressed anything other than cuteness.

gayfag here, i specifically refer to my boyfriend as "my boyfriend" because that sounds extra naughty. people pausing for a second to make sure i didn't misspeak before realizing that i do lovey-dovey stuff with another boy always fills me with a special feeling

I assumed everyone already did. Partner when not in business context, and life partner especially is obvious.

The pause is trying to hold back repulsion, it's rude.

That is, until they see him. Then they get envious because he's cuter than all of their girlfriends combined.
