I continue to use my account, because it's what I'm used to and don't really take advantage of many of the Prime perks.
For the most part, if I order something from Amazon, I don't care if it arrives in 2 days or 5. I don't have an interest in a subscription book service. I don't watch videos on a mobile device. The "use slower shipping and receive e-book credit" was a PITA when I tried it.
We do have our smart blu-ray player connected to her account and watch Amazon video on the TV, but that's about it. If I need a new cable or something like that, I'll log in to her account to order it. Prime just isn't a big draw for me personally.

Unless you REALLY WANT the disincentive of not buying stuff if you don't hit the free buying threshold (like you're using it to tame impulse buying, which I TOTALLY get) then do you realize that Prime can be shared among family members automatically? So you could just get more value out of what your SO is spending anyway with a little side bonus of faster, free shipping, with no more effort or cost.
