Significant Other

A significant other is what you someone you are in a relationship with without disclosing gender identity, relationship/marital status, or sexual orientation.

Commonly used to describe someone who is non-binary/genderqueer that you or someone else is in a relationship with, as well as with people who don't want people to know their sexual orientation (bisexual, pansexual, etc).
Though, it can have different meanings depending on how you use it. Such as describing someone you're dating/not in a relationship with yet.
Example 1:

"Jessa recently told me that she is in a relationship with someone!"
"Really? What's her boyfriend's name?"
"Actually, they are nonbinary/genderqueer so they prefer 'significant other'."

Example 2:

"I'm going on a date tonight with my significant other!"
"Awesome! Is it a boy?"
"It's none of your business."

Example 3:

"How is it going with you and Alexa?"
"At the moment, we're not making it official so she's just a significant other."

SIGnificant

Or inSIGnificant, depending on what you're meaning. Refers to how important/relevant a military-grade firearm is to a matter under discussion.
For someone who loves hunting and/or target-practice, finding a SIGnificant other can be a bit challenging, since not everyone in da dating-pool is comfy with a guns-'n'-ammo lifestyle.

Significant Overlord

When your significant other is a relentless taskmaster who gives you zero privacy, and doesn't trust you at all.
An old (girl) friend posted a joke on my Insta, but I had to delete it so my significant overlord wouldn't see it, and hassle me about it later.

Signiffy

An endearing term for one's significant other when the relationship status is iffy.
They were still in love, but their future together was in constant flux. He was her signiffy, and she his.
