    I thought the same like 5 years ago when me and my partner started using the term. In my brain, I was like “people gonna think I’m gay”, but there really was no better word. The term “girlfriend” felt weak, since our relationship is more like a marriage, but neither of us want to get married. So yeah, normalize it, get over it, be merry.
