He's still around so don't get too upset about it. It maybe that you are picking out problem because you have become bored.

Guys don't really think deeply about these kinds of things. I wouldn't even bring this up, as he will probably feel like he has to watch everything he says around you if you do!

 I totally agree with "happytochat" and "penta". Simply ask him, for he probably just got muddled.
My husband did this on our wedding day! I asked him was he not at the same ceremony as I was that morning? The poor soul turned bright red and said he forgot because he had never had a wife before. I bet your fiancee just did the same thing.
Men....they are daft sometimes. ha ha ha.
Take care,

 Don't stew over this -- ask him. It probably just slipped his mind. Don't make it into something bigger than it is.
(I'm sure you were his girlfriend much longer than you've been his fiance, and probably habit just took over.)
BTW, when you're married, I'll give you the same advice for most other issues -- don't stew over it, ask him.

 I'd say there's not much difference. You could tell him that you're proud to be engaged to him- you want the world to know - how about him calling you his fiancee? Frankly, he's still introducing you as "his"- so you know that he wants people to know you're 'taken'. The rest is between the two of you.

The difference is that you have plans to marry the fiance where as with the gf you dont have plans, not just yet anyway. Yet dont let this upset you just yet. How long have you guys been engaged for? If it is not for very long then he could still be in the habit of calling you his gf, rather then his fiance. Confront him and ask why. Just say 'hey did you forget im your fiance the other day when you introduced me to such and such'. Whatever you think will work.

 Did you recently get engaged? because if you did it might be out of habbit, these things happen. And the difference between a fiance and a girlfriend, is a fiance is a girl youve asked to marry you, and a girlfriend can be either a short term, or long term partner, without any future commitments in place. Personally if youve had a 4 year history i wouldnt take it to heart, it was proberly just a mistake on his part.
