i'm the one who asked-i was just wondering as its the first time that i've heard him say this even though we have been in a relationship for a little while now. he hasn't talked to me about anything future-although i wish he would but not sure how to bring up tht subject.i do know for a fact that he loves me.

shrodingerscat agony auntI personally would consider it a very good thing as he's openly calling you his partner.

Got Issues agony auntI personally despise the expression, as if you are not a complete person, or your own person, when you're in a relationship. But I guess your question is what it means in terms of your relationship, in which case "other half" is his way of saying "serious girlfriend".

A reader, anonymous, writes (31 May 2013):

It's just another way of saying partner, girlfriend, significant other, etc. So it's only bad if you don't like being to referred to as his partner/girlfriend/significant other.

I will say though OP, the term is usually "better half" not "other half". It means nothing bad unless you don't like being referred to as one half of him.
