WHAT IS YOUR MARITAL STATUS?

[NightTrain]

Poll question: WHAT IS YOUR MARITAL STATUS?

Just curious as to how many of my fellow DUers have tied the knot. Personally, I'm 38 and a lifelong bachelor. But who knows, that could change someday!

What does the 'Winter1979' stand for?

It's just when I was born, and winter is my favorite season. :shrug:

8. Happily Married. Of course, our government and I disagree on

this. My SO and I have been together for over 17 years. Had our own ceremony in OUR house, surrounded by OUR family and friends, in front of GOD with great love, dignity and pride.

We don't need no stinkin marriage license!

Proud Texas Liberal Lesbian!

[NightTrain]

11. separated, divorcing....

Visiting the ex on Sunday to discuss separation matters. I'm NOT looking forward to that visit!

[NightTrain]

13. I'm sorry to hear that.

:pals:

[BlueHandDuo]

14. Happily separated for 32 years...

...never seeing each other, never speaking, each just hoping the other one dies first.

[smirkymonkey]

15. How about "Happily Single", "Unhappily Single", etc.

Some of us like being single, although most people can't fathom that.

[NightTrain]

18. I figured "never been married" covered it pretty well.

:shrug:

[smirkymonkey]

16. How about "Happily Single", "Unhappily Single", etc.

Some of us like being single, although most people can't fathom that.

[LisaLynne]

32. Yep.

That's been my experience. People can't deal. Sometimes, I almost feel pressured to act like I'm upset about being single, just so people won't freak. :)

[smirkymonkey]

42. I know what you mean, In some ways

I think they actually resent our freedom (not all marrieds, but many, especially if they are unhappily married.)

Everyone is always trying to fix me up, they seem incapable of understanding that I could actually be happy this way. Especially if you are female - then you are really considered a freak. I could easily be coupled if I wanted to, I have no shortage of offers, but unless I connect with someone on a deeper level (mind, body, spirit) I am just not interested.

I don't want my own children, although I love my neices and nephews dearly, so there is no pressing need for me. However, I won't cave to societal pressure. I don't know if I ever want to be married, and I will be in a relationship only when I find someone that I really WANT to be with, not because I want to save myself from being lonely. :)

[Nikia]

17. I'm married

Usually happily. We just celebrated 4 years. We were married when we were both 22.

31. I have a significant other

:-)

[SarahB]

33. Separated I suppose for the most part.

Which doesn't entirely fit because we'll be under the same roof for about 4 or 5 more months, but we have the beginnings of paperwork required to end it and plan on getting it started in the next week or two. Definitely fall well into the unhappily married catagory.

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Totally besotted and madly crazed over my husband, MrG:

[tjdee]

36. OOH they're cute.

Mr. G reminds me of Ewan MacGregor.
What a dashing pair your two men make!

[gollygee]

47. Wow are they yours?? (m)

What a cute kid and what a looker Mr. G is!!

[latebloomer]

49. Beautiful men!!

I too have a beautiful man whom I was lucky enough to find after 37 years of singlehood, and two angelic (?) kids, 12 and 10.

[No2W2004]

35. Divorced,

but cautiously hopeful that the next time around will be much better....mainly cause I learn from my mistakes unlike a certain "president".

[Rocinante]

37. Married for 25 years

54. Never married, gay, support same-sex marriage BUT....
