I call the person I love my fiance, because we're engaged. How about you?
Couldn't participate in poll, have no signifigant other, :'(
But when I do, I'll let you know :)
I call him "my sweetie", but I refer to him as "my boyfriend" to other people.

I call Emery 'Sweetie' and refer to him as my husband since we are legally married.

A long-standing conflict in my house. I used to call her "my partner." She didn't like that because she thought it made her sound like a lesbian. After much objection on her part, I downgraded it to "spouse." I did not hesitate to point out the meanings of the two words. One can be a spouse without being a partner in any sense of the word. A few days ago she said I can call her my partner if I want to. I am not planning on doing that, because we really do not partner in any sense except for coparenting the kids. The relationship is purely legal at this point.
I had to pick "Other," as it somewhat depends on the situation...
In business dealings (bank, etc.), I refer to my wife as my "spouse," as they need to know that we're legally married.
With strangers though, she's my "friend." Not GIRLfriend, but a close (and best) friend.

Usually it is just "Hey, you".
Yes, I am single. Why?
;D

I use my banana phone to call her. :D *sings, "Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring -- banana phone!"*
Okay, I changed the title of the thread :P. Hopefully, Jeannette won't mind!

I call him my fiance because we're engaged. However, I do refer to him as my husband as well because we don't really need a piece of paper although we do plan on getting "civil union'd".

Bah, ruined our fun. And Jeannette, I know English isn't your first language, I was not making fun of you at all, you write it beautifully. I hope you take it in the spirit it was intended.

No offense taken Dennis :) You're right, English isn't my first language; it's French!

Cutting me and my weirdness at every corner!
I call him Sweetie but in general conversations I refer to him as my husband. (9 years this Dec and still on our honeymoon!)

Not until I have the surgery. :)
In addressing her I call her either Eileen or Love or Darling or Chérie, or Trésord, or Queeny or Destiny or Sexy or Hey-you depending of the mood of the moment! >:D
I had to correct my son who used to refer to her as my girlfriend: to the world she is my partner (in crime) ;) as I think it defines well our relationship based on care, honesty, loyalty, complicity, respect, appreciation and love.

I used to call mine 'her indoors' but she got upset so now I call her 'please stop hitting me', or I just call her my partner.
