Too old for a girlfriend
Since i'm fifty and she's 47, bf/gf seems a little young for us. Significant other sounds like I'd be refering to a robot, never liked that from the first time I heard it in the late seventies. I'm looking for other terms to use when we refer to each other in conversation. Right now, I'm using "the gal that I'm seeing" but that doesn't really do the trick either. We're in an exclusive, committed relationship so I'd like to find a term that is respectful of that.
In another relationship we used "companion" which worked quite well.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

I'm 47 and he's 48... he always refers to me as "his lady", and I love it!

“Domestic Partner” seems to be latest PC. 
Who do you have to explain to at your age?

Sorry to tell you Jenna, but there is no “life” partner except the tax man.
Only Craftsman comes with a honored lifetime guarantee (so far). Buy a wrench!

Like I said, SO will NEVER pass over my lips, geck...
Partner is what I have for business...
Life partner, well maybe in time, that's a little ahead of the game right now, but not a bad idea.
Lady or M' Lady has a nice ring, thanks  Lady friend is in the running too.
The rest are too coarse, keep them to yourselves

Life partner (= Lebenspartner) is pretty common in german - with all its lack of any romantic sense.
What's about a marriage?
At least in german it sounds best as 'my woman', my 'man', if you're over 30. |

How about 'Other half'? It's kind of casual but gets the point across without sounding awkward.

SuzyQ,
You're right, this might just do.
Too early for marriage but a possibility. Same for life-partner. Things are moving along in that direction though

Why not narrow down significant other to "SO" (it's initials)?
