Relationship status – many and varied. That suits fine.

I was thinking of just that this morning in relation to someone I know who is desperately seeking, to the degree that I think she doesn’t see herself as whole without “acquiring” a male counterpart.

Curious stuff. How is condo hunting coming along?

So, what you’re saying then, my friend, is that we’re in a relationship?

Uh oh, my wife is NOT going to be happy about this.

Friends. I like to have ‘em and I like to be ‘em.

I’m glad we got to meet. I confirmed some pretty neat friends that weekend.

“So, are you in a relationship with him?”
“Ah, yeah, roommate.”
“Uh huh. Same room.”
“Three roommates, three bedrooms, you do the math.”

I had the best two roomies anyone could ask for for several years, one girl, one guy. Probably the last serious relationships I’ve had. Did we ever sleep together? Yep, travel companions, we shared cars, rooms, occassionally shared beds. To sleep in, well, maybe passed out in would be more accurate. Never crossed the line. Amazingly we’re still friends/family, when we have the time to see each other.

As to how I identify myself, depend on who’s asking. Technically, I’m a widow, even after 21 years, I usually reserve that for official forms and surveys. In reality, I’m single, when I’m just starting to know people at some point I’ll make a vague reference to when I was married. Most people don’t ask much further.

If & when I get to know you, you’ll find out I’m a widow. Whatever. I don’t want pity, it was a long time ago and is just part of who I am now.

Someone who MADE IT!!!

“So, what’s your relationship status?”
“I have relationships.”
“But are you single, married, divorced, you know – in a committed relationship?”
“I have many relationships with many people, each relationship as unique as the person it is with.”
“No, no, I’m talking about a real relationship.”
“All my relationships are ‘real’.”
“You’re deliberately misconstruing what I’m asking! Are you in love with anyone?”
“Many people. I love my family and my friends.”
“Not love you idiot, in love! Like, are you sleeping with anyone?”
“Well, you don’t have to be in love with someone to sleep with them. Or even to have sex with them. And you can be in love with someone and not be having sex with them.”
“You’re not being helpful!”
“Exactly.”
