Oh, I totally agree with you about the teen-age hair twisting resonance of the words "boyfriend/girlfriend". It's not adequate. Maybe it can be elevated in seriousness and work in general, or maybe not. Too soon to say, I guess.

Remember the humorous references to PoOSLQ a few years ago? But that didn't cover same-sex couples. And it was too cumbersome to catch on.

I have no idea what term or terms will emerge. To bad we don't have the elegant French terms your other commenter describes in the US! :). I think "partner" or "life partner" is where it's going in English, but it's so twee. I can go with S.O., myself, but that's not a word that feels good in your mouth.
