Of course if you're living together you can always use POSSLQ (I have
a POSSLQ button somewhere, and someone made T-Shirts) but I suppose
that's not much better.  You could use mate and life-mate for spouses, 
but then that implies that your current SO might not last long.  Did
Andre Norton ever have a phrase for this?  I keep thinking of 
Gentle Fem and Gentle Homo for some reason!
