I hate the word partner for husband or wife. I have a business partner. A chess partner. A tennis partner.

Husband or wife is unique.

Anyway, a very sad story.

No, the term partner compliments the husband or wife. It's already understood that he/she is your husband/wife. He/She is also your best friend, and the two of you are literally that, a partnership.

But I can see your point though.

That word “partner” is an attempt to get a neutral concept into the public mind. Attack on marriage and family.

Yea. I prefer it when they use the word "squeeze".
