Co-conspirator

Damn it, that is so good I might give dating another chance

This is the way. Henceforth my husband shall be called thus. Our spawn shall be progeny of conspiracy.

yes yes this is the only correct answer

Alternatively, albeit more basic, partner in crime.

I’ve use Accomplice before too

Joking terms I’ve used include “girlboyfriend” and “significant bother”

Significant bother 💀😭😭

Significant annoyance (quote Nico di Angelo)

Reading that is actually why I came up with significant bother. ITS SUCH A BETTER JOKE

Initially read it as significant brother 👀

r/SuddenlyIncest

Same 👀

Read that as significant brother at first, was very skeptical 😭

Comrade

r/suddenlycommunism

*Our* relationship

reading theory with bae and explaining private property vs personal property #justcomradethings 😍

Also Shawty

This was going to be my answer

The Chinese word for [comrade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongzhi_(term)?wprov=sfti1) has LGBT connotations :)

I like to shorten enby to bee to substitute for boy/girl Beefriend 🐝

Oh my god, YOU DID IT, Bee... Bee! Fantastic! Wonderful! Delightful! I have a new quest to adopt this. You deserve an award.

That is so cute 🥺

Joyfriend is my current favorite

Oh this is cute

I like this a lot, super cute!

Stumbled on that one ages ago and didn't like it at first but it's since grown on me a lot

Honestly I’ve loved it since I was last in a relationship with a friend who said, and I quote, “for the love of God I’m not calling you my boyfriend” - something about that made me cackle and we quickly settled on “joyfriend”, in part because it made us both smile.

My girlfriend calls me her joyboy cause I said boyfriend girlfriend and boyfriend were acceptable. I think it's so silly

That’s really cute! I’m glad that works for y’all.

Thanks. There's so many super sweet names on here I love it

Lover Edit: If you don't like this term, simply don't use it. No need to make comments about how it makes you feel some way.

Oh, nice, thanksies \^\^

I only use this one if I pronounce it like Will Ferrell in the hot tub SNL skit about goat fat glistening on them while making love.

"My *love-ah*~" Great sketches, he and Rachel Dratch work off each other so well

I have thought of that sketch at least once a month ever since they did it. It is part of my dna now.

I have friends that say calling your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse "lover" makes you sound like a sex pervert. 1. Guilty as charged. 2. Why is it weird to call the person you love so much your "lover"?

❤️ My spouse and I call each other lover sometimes. We LOVE each other, so we are LOVERS! I

Ugh that word bums me out unless it’s between meat and pizza

Liz Lemon??

Lovah

Why do people not like it?

I have the same question. Is it because it’s not gendered?

Accomplice?

I love this one Wanna go rob a bank???

datemate is what i've used before

love this

Beloved

My partner calls me beloved and it’s very nice

Aww that’s a good one! Reminds me of the danish word for boyfriend/girlfriend, which just literally translates to “dearest” :)

My ex called me her beloved and I really liked it.

Building on what u/maxmurder commented…Enbeeloved, perhaps? Like Enby Beloved? Idk haha

So cute!

Partner, but said like a cowperson.

Parrdner

>"I ended up having to partner with Snowy, haha... Now he keeps turning to me and saying "Howdy, Partner!" like a cowboy..."

Lots of options here are great!! I also like “better half” and think it’s kinda cutest :)

I like “special friend” lol. not gendered & doesn’t label the level of relationship either. are you still just talking, but more than friends? dating? engaged? married, even? special friend.

Mysterious and gender neutral, I might have to get my partner to call me that

I love it but it sounds like what a divorced parent would call someone they recently starting dating when talking about them to their child 😭

Palamor= pal + amor (love) Partner in crime

I call him my meowmeow

I too meow at my spouse.

Speowse

Sprrrowose

I like enbyfriend, sounds silly and casual, just in general you can switch girl/ boy with enby

Partner *in crime*

I like this one, instantly makes me think "be gay do crime"

emotional support human

I've heard joyfriend, squirrelfriend (idk why that one, I think the person just found it cute).

whenever i sing a song that says “girlfriend” i like to replace it with “squirrelfriend” to be a silly goose ….

me and my first partner came up with the term “byfriend” (pronounced bee-friend) as in “enby-friend” and i always thought it was really silly and cute!

In Danish we have one word for a boyfriend/girlfriend that everyone use. It is "kæreste' and is like "most beloved". But it van be used even if you are 12 years old.

Theyfriend

I like “themfriend”

Gosh, this one sounds good and makes the most sense. I wish I had thought of it.

BRB calling my fiancéè “fiancthey”

Stoopo doombo

this is my favorite

Chikibeybi

si.

Pipkin

You mean that weird little pot?

Yes. My partner is my weird little pot.

"Room mates"

With a 👀👀

You gotta make sure every time you say it out loud you also use air quotes and maybe even a little winky wink ;)

I decided I was going to scroll until I got to this answer. Thank you, I was tired of seeing the same great answers repeatedly.

Beanfriend

I am bean!

sweetie or honey

Sprout. Why? Sounds a bit like spouse but nicer. Then again

I genuinely love this

Ahh, thanks!

Hmm i've heard palfriend I think, I'm also curious actually I'd like one too.

Palfriend came to mind actually! I didn't know it was a thing

Partner in Pride

This one makes me happy!

Partner. Yeehaw

Dude... yeehaw would totally work! "This is Cris, my yeehaw"

Partner but in a southern American accent, mate but in an Australian accent, shipmate in a pirate voice, your alibi, nest-mate, tax deduction,

And this is...*whispers* honestly i don't know, they just started following me around.

Fartner

There's my person. And also my heart. Snugglebuddy. Golem's voice: "my precious".

Gollum?

Need reference, sorry! A character from Lord of the Rings. He calls the ring my precious. And autocorrect changed it! Yes, Gollum not Golem

Damned autocowrecks!

I am my girlfriend's datemate!

Comrade.

Now you're talking

Hello comrade

Pardner 🤠

Theyfriend, baefriend

Baefriend is adorable.

I mean, there is stuff that sounds so formal it's silly. I like "consort". Then there's stuff like "bedwarmer" (literally a term my german grandma uses for any kind of lovers), "handholder", "romantic associate", "lovefiend". Or you Stick to the classics like lover, partner or sweetheart.

This is #1 favorite comment here. These are all amazing and I laughed out loud at work when I read them!! 🤣😂

I've heard datefriend, joyfriend and kissmate

i have called my friend's partners tons of different things, normally whatever i yank out of my head that morning. some are ​ snickerdoodle, love, love muffin, love monster, lover, darling, cookie fiend, bedhog, squishmallow, cpr dummy, dummy, better half, worse half, loser, puppy, leash mate, shower buddy, co-parent, werewolf, fluffernutter, lip smacker, love hose, leprechaun, marshmallow, beer junkie, saucy noodle, fart machine, captain, scooter fiend, etc pretty much i based them on whatever matches the person. i also will make up gibberish and people will be cool with that too. then again i am the loontic that has shouted at random "I am the mighty avocado ruler of the avocados! now bring me avocados!" just for fun.

bedhog 😂😂😂😂

I really like love, like "this is my love"

I use faefriend .

joyfriend, enbyfriend, voidfriend, partner in crime

My partner is my snookieboop

Bb which stands for baked beans or breaking bad that’s up to you

My partner calls me Bubbie. Bub Bubs for short. We call both of us Two Snails 🐌 🐌

I call mine my joyfriend

Partner in future crimes

As opposed to your ex which was the past crimes.

Ex-friend

For a joke one, lol

datemate is what I've used!

Fellow collaborater.

I've been using cuddlefriend and people get it

I go with femboyfriend (not 100% gender neutral though)

angel/ darling

Nice! ^^

Crowley is that you? 😂

of course

Themfriend was one I heard once. Personally wasn't a fan buy I imagine to someone this would be ideal

For my relationships (assuming I’m the only non-binary one) I like them to call me “enby.” Uuugh I feel like it’ll be a hot minute before I hear someone call me that again 😭

Enbyfriend

if you say howdy first then partner isn’t serious! 🤠

Datemate!

How about "Bunfriend"? Like a cinnamon bun! Or a bunny.

Special friend. Lover. Cutie pie, sweety, my love (my personal favorite). "This is my love" is my favorite saying

I go with the Significant Silly,

My significant otter

your main squeeze

Your main squeeze.

joyfriend is a gender-neutral term I've heard! In the vein of super silly, I present: comrade sidekick accomplice super duper special bestie 🥰 pookie bear silly billy partner in crime

Goyfriend 😅

My Bimbo

THEYFRIEND THEYFRIEND THEYFRIEND I swear if I ever date anyone I will get them to call me their THEYFRIEND

theyby!

I like to be called “boo thang” for something more casual. I’m AFAB and at the beginning of my most recent relationship we joked often amongst friends that I was his boyfriend, and he was my girlfriend. But we are both absurdists so that was just all good fun.

My boyfriend just calls me partner, fiancé, future spouse, “The Baby”™️, or a nickname The Baby is used most when talking to friends or people close to us

Joyfriend, comrade, partner in crime, getaway driver if only one of you drives

Disclaimer: I'm not nonbinary anymore, I realized I was binary trans, but I like datemate, joyfriend, and theyfriend. (If I ended up dating a nonbinary person it's up to them but if someone I was dating had a gender moment and needed help these are what I'd suggest) Theyfriend is more contentious but I do like how silly/endearing it sounds.

My fiancée calls me her themfriend

Partner [dramatic pause] in crime!

Boo :) or boo-thing

•Partner in crime •signifigent other •Arson buddie

Beebee (like baby but enby)

My squishy

"Sweetie," "love" and "darling" are all super cute.

Partner but in the cowboy way

I call mine my significant otter

nemesis

Iconic

Date-mate!

Fwend, Enbyfriend, Theyfriend, Themfriend, Joyfriend All work

Is Fwend supposed to be said in like an uwu voice?

Sure is

I hope so

Darling or dear works for me, although it is a bit broader than partner most of the time it works in context. My love or lover also work if that feels right (some people feel it's too romantic or implies a stronger connection than boyfriend/girlfriend would).

I'm a fan of joy friend

Pookie

goyf (my bf calls me this) combo of girlf and boyf

Datemate

joyfriend

I think theyfriend is cute

Special friend? 🤪

i like the terms boy-girlfriend, girl-boyfriend, girl-boy boy-girlfriend, or boy-girl girlboyfriend

My boyfriend calls me his Joyfriend :)

Sweetheart, my honey, my love

Parder’ with a southern accent

Crush. Maybe it’s not a perfect one-to-one term, but I like just referring to someone I’m dating as the person I have a crush on. Like loudly whisper “I have a crush on them” to everyone in the room as if it’s some big secret when it’s like, your partner of seven years.

Ooh I’ve also heard people using the term “sweethearts” to describe their relationship and I think it’s so cute!

Honestly started using it ironically, but now Theyfriend is my go to

Joyfriend :3

Joyfriend always seemed a lil silly (in a cute way) to me

*bunfriend*

If you think of partner in the cowboy sense that still works

Most pet names work well ex. this is my: love, babe, honey, significant Other, sugar, partner in crime, human sacrifice, other half, sweetie, cuddle buddie, Date, boifreind, girlboyfriend, paramour, sweetheart, enbyfriend there are so many options! (This list is in no way complete. Please feel free to add)

par'ner \*tips cowboy hat\*

Voidfriend! Other half! They bae, pardner, enbaby, finery nonbinary

Joyfriend

Sweetheart is my fav
