My bf and I have been together for 4 years, living together for about a year. We will get married but not for the next 3 years.
I don't like to say he is my boyfriend because he is more than that to me. Technically he is not my fiancee, what should I call him?
Please save me the lecture that we should be married. For personal reasons, I choose not to.

just say your husband, it sounds better. you really don't owe anyone a explanation. i did it for a long time and i know lots of women that do that. i understand the "boyfriend" word is just does not fit your situation. there should be a in between word.
soulmate is good too.

You could call him your partner. That's the only other word I can think of apart from boyfriend and fiancee. But there's really nothing wrong with the word boyfriend, it doesn't mean that you only have a casual relationship or something if you call him that. And if you're not married it's the most common name to call him. But I say partner is good if you don't like boyfriend.

In a formal introduction how about.. "Hey everybody I want you to meet my boyfriend that I plan on marrying one day" Or to be cute "this is my future hubby so and so." And why not boyfriend it's fun & young. I married my husband after 3 months of knowing him. Hopped on a plane, flew to Vegas and tied the knot. We joke about not ever calling each other gf & bf or fiance & fiancee. We just leaped right in to husband and wife. Sounded cute at first but now sounds more like slave names. Enjoy it now. Anythings better that ex-boyfriend or ex-husband. Good luck to you and your future hubby!!

Well I guess he's technically your boyfriend, but if you two have discussed getting married and you're planning to, then he's kind of your fiance even if it's not official yet. You could always call him that if he doesn't have any objections. Or you could go with partner or just call him the love of your life.

Significant other (sig ot , sigoth, or SO) is a gender-blind, politically correct term to refer to a person's partner in an intimate relationship without disclosing or presuming anything about his or her marital status or sexual orientation. It is also vague enough to avoid offence from using a term that an individual might consider inappropriate (e.g. lover when he or she considers him a boyfriend, or her a girlfriend when he or she considers her a life partner). Nonetheless, some are offended by the implication that persons with whom one is not having a "primary" sexual relationship are "insignificant" or would as a matter of course get lesser consideration and emotional disrespect compared to the "significant" one.
The term is commonly used in invitations, e.g. to weddings and office parties. In this context, a person and their significant other might not be cohabiting and might not be engaging in sexual relations. For example, a person's fiancé(e) would be considered a significant other, without any assumptions regarding living arrangements or sexual activity before their marriage. Conversely, it is assumed that some sort of steady connection exists between the the invitee and their significant other, i.e. the event for which the invitation is extended won't be their first date.

If you have plans to get married then its ok to call him your fiancee. Even if it is 3 years down the line.

Some people use partner as their term. It would certainly keep people guessing as to ..is he your business partner or is he a she...but..I like that idea since it does put emphasis on your significant relationship.
Depending on your state, he may be considered your 'common law husband' since you now live together..I think it depends on the length of time you co-habitate.
