I don't mind the word "boyfriend". My 90-year old grandmother, who has dementia, sometimes confuses me with her other 20-some-odd female grandchildren, and sometimes asks me if I have a boyfriend (I've been married 13 years). When my mom was dating someone for 6 years, we referred to him as her boyfriend. I don't see anything wrong with it. I'd rather someone say that than "significant other" (seems so detached) or "lover" (gag). I guess I'm just old and old fashioned.
