Me: What's wrong, dude?
You: I'm having some issues with my better half.

Better half 

If you marry someone that really is your equal, neither of you has one, but that doesn't seem to sit well with most females. Better isn't equal.
Married males are told all the time they have a better half. Not everybody agrees with that viewpoint, but if they want to go along with it just to be with someone, that's their business.

half a loaf is better than none 

Getting less than what one wants, is still better than getting none at all.
Casey: How did work go?
Cooper: Unfortunately they cut me early, so I only get paid for half a day.
Casey: Well, half a loaf is better than none.
