posslq (Person of Opposite Sex Sharing Living Quarters) is a good
     alternative.

My grandmother and people of her classification say 'friend,' which
     sounds so euphemistic to me.  I think it's demeaning to call
     someone with whom I share bodies simply, 'friend.'

I'm for saying 'Lover.'  If people are hung up by this, SHPX GURZ.
