I'm a millennial and I've always referred to my partner as such. Boyfriend and girlfriend always seemed so weirdly juvenile, and it's interesting to leave things ambiguous for people who are immediately expecting to categorise you.
Same. It's also just a better generic term. You can say "all my partners" instead of "my boyfriend, girlfriend, and wife". So much easier and still accurate.
