Partner has been used so often by gay and lesbian couples that when I hear some say that I immediately think of that

While the term is mostly just used so it's gender neutral and saves any unnecessary/unwanted explanation, I think the term should be used whenever two people decide to be monogamous. This amount of time varies all the way from immediately to never for depending on exactly who is involved..

Never. "Significant other" is a terrible term.

Not if you're a 70 year old trying to get back into the dating game. But yeah, for everyone else it's horrible.
