So, what are you?

[MMC]

Married 12 years been together 15 years, 6 months, 2 weeks, 18 hrs, 42 mins, with her.

Can I retire after 20 years? :shock: :lol:

 

[Cephus]

l believe she knows you love her chemically :mrgreen:

Of course, there's no other way to do it. Love is a complex electro-chemical reaction in the brain, no matter what fanciful notions you attach to it.

 

[Cephus]

Um, something missing in translation? I already agreed that people themselves may not be complicated, but situations can be....

I'm just playing devil's advocate here so don't take it personally, but...

In this particular thread, the phrase 'it's complicated' can cover a number of relationship status:

The question was, are you married or single...

Separated, but not divorced

Then you're married.

Divorce in process

Married.

Divorced but may be getting back together with ex

Single.

Separated but may be getting back together

Married.

Will be divorced/single if SO finds out about that fling

Stupid.

etc, etc.....[/QUOTE]

Nothing complex about any of those.

I threw that last one in for humor. :wink:

From the outside, it may look easy. If you're ever in one of those situations, it's not.

 

[tech30528]

Currently married to my first wife.

That sounds kind of messy.

True, but as an answer to the questions being asked in this thread, it's simple. Married or single. It's binary. You can't be both. You can't be neither.

 

[Medusa]

That sounds kind of messy.

how ?

 

[Cephus]

how ?

Sounds like it would get blood all over everything.

Have you heard that old saying that "life is what happens while you're making plans"? If you love someone, go ahead and let it go wherever it leads. Life won't wait for perfect timing.

I don't know Lizzie, being in love sure is nice, but all of those relationship problems that come with career instability make the single life a little more attractive to me right now.

Relationship instablilities seem to happen regardless. It's not the "being in love" that lasts. It's loving in spite of.

 

[Mathematician]

I'm as happily married as they come. I patiently waited to meet my soulmate while focusing on my education. We finally met in our 30's at a university in a country neither of us were from.

 

[Risky Thicket]

I'm one lucky sumbitch. I've been married for 21 years to a woman who is a far better person than I deserve. She is beautiful and charming and I'm ugly as a mud fence and common. When we go out to eat it often happens that the wait person will look at us and ask, "Separate checks?" LOL! For more than 21 years she has acted as if she hasn't noticed. That's a good woman and I never forget how lucky I am.

 

[JC Callender]

I think being in love is such a wonderful feeling because a primer that strong is needed to last through the future hardships of a long term relationship. And of course I would have to meet someone committed to going through those hardships, which probably isn't so easy in our instant gratification society.

This is a quote I saw a while back.
