That's definitely not the case though, and I've replied to OP on the steps to securing a "Settled Status" for their partner.
Here in the Netherlands there is a pretty solid campaign to inform people (mostly business owners) to brace for impact.

1. If you guys are married, she can apply for the EU Settlement Scheme[1].
2. If you guys are not married, you need to first register a civil partnership[2], and then she can apply for the EU Settlement Scheme.
None of these require EU citizenship for your partner.

That said, I still in our current useless political climate do not see the UK not doing the right thing about displaced nationals in the UK. But equally, wished article 50 was not flawed in a way that in effect has rendered displaced nationals as negotiation pawns. That's unfair, however you look at it.
FWIW I lobbied several MEP's and EU leaders about this flaw in article 50 back in 2015 and in 2016, and all I got was ignored and no MEP or EU leader wanted to address the issue and I came away feeling that deep down, they like the current flaw as any public fallout can be laid upon those utilising article 50. Which is even more worrying.
