I had a partner when I opened a computer shop back in the day. Closest I've come to having sex with him was the time I saw his wife topless through the window.
Significant Other is much more specific.
It's also much weirder sounding. You know what sort of partner they mean from context (same as you know if someone means girlfriend girlfriend or a friend that is a girl)
