Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends “girlfriends”, I have to wonder how women with actual girlfriends have been dealing with this lol

I’m neither a lesbian nor a woman but the word “partner” is pretty universally understood.
I use that to refer to business partners and people have been confused by it.

let them be confused. does one supercede the other?
The point of speaking is to express an idea clearly to listeners. So, since this usage of ‘partner’ to mean the other person in a romantic relationship has become popular, to be specific I say ‘business partner’.
Yeah I thought about that one too, but it feels too broad of a term. Partner could be used to refer to a work colleague. And I’d feel really tempted to add “in crime” at the end lol
I’m always tempted to preceed it with “howdy”
work on a cook line in a restaurant. gain a little trust, might get a partner or several.
