Partner

As a relationship status, partner is a flexible, gender-neutral relationship option that indicates a person is in a committed or significant connection with someone. This may be romantic, sexual, kink-based, or a combination of these. It’s often used by people who: - Prefer not to use gendered terms like “girlfriend” or “boyfriend” - Are in non-traditional, polyamorous, or queer relationships - Share a power exchange dynamic that doesn’t align with mainstream labels “Partner” can imply emotional closeness, mutual support, and shared responsibilities, but the exact nature of the relationship is self-defined. ### Related Relationship Statuses - Relationship - Married - Dating - Girlfriend - Boyfriend
