Ok, this conversation has gotten weird… And I like it.
See, that’s when you make it fun! Still no biggie. If it were me, then I’d probably be excited (internally) about going down that aisle.

Fair point!
Earth horses, sure. Cartoon ponies? We have no idea.
On the flipside, it could turn out even more lewd, given what kind of needs mares have during esturus season. There must be all kinds of feminine products for them to ‘beat the heat’. Would be even more awkward than tampons.
Probably feminine hygiene products (tampons/pads)…which is really amusing to me, because horses and ponies don’t menstruate.
It’s honestly not awkward unless one makes it awkward.
If you tell just about anyone (with the apparent exception of yourself) that two people are ‘lovers’, it will be taken as an implication of a sexual relationship. It didn’t used to mean that so strongly (so you’ll find nonsexual uses of it in older literature), but it’s been used as a euphemism for so long that the connection is now extremely strong. Sort of the same way you can say ‘tool’ with the right emphasis and make middle schoolers giggle. That’s one of the ways that language changes.
But that’s beside the point, because this discussion is the result of you saying that my use of SO implied a more serious relationship than the comic depicts. It’s not. A girlfriend/boyfriend relationship very much falls under the umbrella of ‘significant other’.
And non-sexual relationships can fall under lovers.
It’s not limited to as serious a relationship as you seem to be limiting it to. ‘Girlfriend’ is definitely within the purview of ‘significant other’.
And Significant Other is mainly used as a gender neutral form of two people in a serous relationship.
Lover implies a sexual relationship, first and foremost. It also generally implies a passionate fling, often not expected to last. People in a long-term relationship use it with some irony, usually. Someone describing their long-term spouse as their ‘lover’ in all seriousness would be weird.
It also constitutes a fairly direct reference to sex, and could be considered… impolite isn’t quite the right word–let’s say gauche, to use in any social context in which you wouldn’t directly discuss whether two people are bangin’ or not.
What’s what the term “lover” is for.
That’s how the word is used. It’s a catchall. People invented it to use when they weren’t sure what the status of a relationship was, or to encompass a group with multiple relationship statuses.
Kind of cheapens to word if you us it that way.
Significant Other is a catchall term. It can be applied to casual f-buddies, spouses married for 50 years, and everything in between. In this case, I’m using it because I’m making a statement that I mean to apply regardless of the status of the relationship in question.
It feels like a misused of the term if that’s what you’re asking.
Wait, are you saying “significant other” isn’t just a catch-all term meaning whichever of boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse applies?
Why not just use GF than, since significant other seems to be a leap in their current relationship, or most relationships before marriage.
Significant Other
SO?
One guy bought tampons becasue he wanted to be reincarnated as one…so there’s that
