... equals in relationship standing?
I'm not a huge fan of being referred to as someone's girlfriend. (or wife, for that matter) Saying their "my other half" implies that alone I am incomplete.
Partner says to me that we are equals, of equal dominance in the relationship, is delightfully gender neutral, and doesn't carry all of the baggage that girlfriend, wife, boyfriend, husband, or snookums have.
And yeah, part of being in a good relationship is a little bit businesslike, at least for me. Planning meals, working out finances, living arrangements, making compromises....
Lines:
I prefer partner to boyfriend/girlfriend. I don't call my husband that now, but I felt juvenile saying "boyfriend" and I hate the term "fiance". I usually just call him by name anyways and rarely refer to him (verbally) as my husband. He's my Michael.

And that's why I also hate the phrase, "my/your better half." Not only are you incomplete, but you suck without the other.
Method of Madness:
Yeah, I always preferred using names rather than titles. Also it kind of bugs me when people refer to their whatever as "my (whatever)" instead of just saying their name if they know I know the person's name.
