Since you are talking about a business situation, doesn't "partner" sound like "business partner" ?
I always thought it did, and felt like clarifying "no, my sexual partner".
If they aren't sure, they will ask. It just adds to the fun.

I agree the correct "polite" term would be companion......partner sounds like a business term.

I'd suggest "Other half". "Partner" could be as in business partner.
Or "significant other" - though I think that's a horrible term.
Or just introduce him/her by name and add that you live together.

"This is my partner". Don't worry, we're not as formal as people outside Britain think we are.

I think it's usual to refer to them as your partner.

I believe the term is my companion.
