Right now I'm Divorced, Single...in the sense that I'm not married, In a Relationship, and in a Domestic Partnership. If you just put "It's Complicated", that just about covers everything! LOL
I tend to agree that after a given period of time Divorced would and should revert to single.
It can be a bit of a quagmire though and largely dependent on the varables at the time. At a certain age "single" could evoke a notion that no bugger has ever wanted you.
Domestic partnership is a new one to me however,bit like the butler and the maid getting it on ;-)

OFFLINE | My status says single, although I am divorced, I don't really have any idea why I put single instead of divorced...to me it isn't a big deal one way or another. |

"It's complicated" doesn't resonate well with me. A coworker who's always neck deep in drama put "It's Complicated" in his status after dating another coworkers daughter, and i think that discolored my view of "It's Complicated".
There have been times on internet dating sites that I have seen guys use "its complicated". Well to my way of thinking, if "IT" is complicated, then "IT" (the relationship) exists. Therefore , I you dont belong looking for a new one. |

I've never actually seen this first hand, but I can think of a complicated and adulterous scenario that's unethical, but maybe moral. (say, what?)
I'm not sure if this is legally possible. But suppose a husband and wife mutually agree that they're not in love, they're still friends, but they both want to see other people. However, it's a situation where she's not working and had always been a stay-at-home mom, and he's always been the breadwinner. But, she's developed some major medical issue that's relatively controlled by regular treatments and medications, and his medical insurance offers full coverage accordingly.
In this case, they've mutually agreed to stay married so she could continue being covered under his health care plan, and they're both actively seeking other partners. The idea is that they stay married until she's able to acquire adequate medical coverage, yet they're still able to move on with their lives.
Yeaok,,, that's never gunna happen,,,, is it? |

I agree "Separated" is different, just like "married", "engaged", "Domestic partnered" or" in a relationship" its a "just Friends" Opportunity only |

OFFLINE | What do you think would be the more appropriate social status for this situation? Still legally married, haven't shared a bed (or anything else intimate) with spouse (or anyone else) for close to 10 years, divorce papers have been filed but it's not final yet, and either just recently, or in the process of, moving out. |

Sue ... that's complicated
As far as relationships and their complications go, it's really the business of the individuals involved because there can be circumstances that everyone does not know about and it needs to stay that way. If the two parties involved agree that the others "complicated" situation is something they can deal with ... then so be it. I'm just not sure I could invest fully in something that's iffy at best. |

Ewwww! Hahaha! Actually, I was describing myself 7 years ago when I started dating again after a long misguided stretch of staying together for the sake of the children. Wow...was that ever complicated! |

Just change Moldy to Rusty and you'd be pretty accurate...at least in describing my dating skills at that time! |
