other half
One's significant person
Other half refers to a person's spouse, romantic partner, or closest companion—the person who completes them: I'll have to check with my other half before committing to plans.
The phrase implies two people forming a unified whole.
It can also mean a social class opposite one's own: a glimpse of how the other half lives.
