Married, Single, and then Some

[Pandoras]

Here's a poll just because I'm curious (or nosey, whichever you prefer). I tried to be inclusive, but I put in the Other option, just in case I missed something. Feel free to elaborate, or not.

[Shanti]

Unmarried but committed. I dont believe in leagal marriage for myself in the state of WI, I dont like their marriage laws or their present income tax laws.

[Faeawyn]

I'm unmarried but committed. We've been together 10 years. We refer to each other as husband and wife, but we're not married :)

[Terestai]

Not married, but no longer single. Totally committed to one amazing woman. :smile:

[Tzhebee]

Other...because I'm just difficult that way. :p

Unmarried, physically committed to one person, but emotionally committed to two people.

If her SO wasn't so close-minded, I would be committed physically to them both. (because my SO has an open mind about those kinds of things).

[Sleet]

Is closed-mindedness really the only reason one could prefer physical monogomy?

[Tzhebee]

Is closed-mindedness really the only reason one could prefer physical monogomy?
Absolutely not, and I did not mean to imply that. But in the case of her SO...that is the reason.

[ryv]

Single and not dating...blah :awwman:

[Sleet]

Absolutely not, and I did not mean to imply that. But in the case of her SO...that is the reason.

Sorry, I misunderstood and was feeling a smidge defensive. Carry on! :D

[Cielamara]

Unmarried...I'm only eighteen. Yes, I know, many are married by now...but my parents would croak if I got married this young. However...I'm very much committed to one amazing person, and there's a possibility of marriage in the future for us. :) We're just the type to want to settle down without a great deal of dating and fuss, and simply be all domestic and stuff.

[Fairyelf]

I am unmarried but I have been in a relationship for 2 1/2 years!!! :flowers:

[Tzhebee]

Sorry, I misunderstood and was feeling a smidge defensive. Carry on! :D
Understandable. Thank you, though for asking for clarification before jumping down my throat. :hahugh:

[Earthy]

Unmarried but committed :)

[semi]

Single, dating, but I'd like something more.

[Doodlebug]

Unmarried but committed to one person!

[Khuinaset]

Unmarried but happily commited to one great guy. :)

edit: after actually reading the thread, Cielly's post fits fairly well('cept that I'm 16 not 18)

[IndigoMoon]

Unmarried, but commited. It's a topic of much discussion around my house these days.

[Valkie]

:lol: good thing you put in the other option!! That's my vote.

I am a polygamist married to a monogamist. I am in a monogamous relationship out of respect and love for my husband, not because it is what I believe in.

[Jenett]

Polyamorous, married to one of my partners, committed to the other (it's just the nature of the commitments is a bit different.)

3 year wedding anniversary with the husband in December, 5 years being involved on (US) Thanksgiving, and 4 year anniversary with my OSO last August.

[Atheleisia]

I'm married and monogamous. Technically, we were probably impulsive (dumb??) and got married after knowing each other for only six months... but we just had our eighth anniversary in August. :)

[Jeleia]

Single. Casualing dating.

Loving it

[Teresa]

Unmarried and totally committed to a wonderful man who I believe is my soulmate !

[AuroraSilvermist]

Married. Monogamous. :hearthear

[Mab]

just filed the DIY divorce papers.

[WickedBttrfly]

Single and not dating.
And, (in the words of Jeleia)
Lovin it.

[Blondie]

Dating occasionally.

Been a drought lately.

[forbidden_vengence]

I am 15 so single and not dating...lol....I'm not into the mushy stuff.

[Amethyst Rose]

Married and monogomous for nearly 7 years (in January). :D

[kiara]

Single and have my eye one someone who has their eye on me. :heybaby: Gotta stop pussyfooting around though. :hehehehe: That one just happened and I'm not actively dating, nor will I until I finish this semester.

[Kalika]

I'm married and in a monogamous relationship. :p

[RogueSpirit]

I am married to someone that I don't live with or otherwise have a relationship with... in fact, I live in Louisiana and he lives in California and I've seen him twice in three years. We have not filed formal paperwork making us separated and have not begun divorce proceedings. I have dated other people and so has he. In fact, he has a child who is about to turn two with someone else and is currently living with yet another person. I am not currently involved with anyone (outside of my marriage) but mostly due to a lack of time. I'm a single parent and a full time college student.

[Haruka2077]

Wooohoo! I'm the first "open marriage" vote so far. I feel special. :fpartyhat *sits around and waits for company*

(OK, not counting the 7 people who voted "other". I'm not an "other" anymore since our SO found the monogamous relationship he was looking for and moved out with our blessings.)

[Noriohtle]

Well im Divorced.. again... I have not acctually Dated since my divorce unless you call sitting in my apartment getting soused with a friend dating.. I thought i had found someone who i could enjoy myself with.. who enjoyed being with me but evedently i scare men off ?? So im Single... not Dating.. but wish i was.

[Cev'aq]

Married, and emotionally committed to another (with hubby's blessing :) ).

[kitsch]

we bought a house together but have yet to do the marriage thing. go figure.
...i just want the rock :bad: (lapis, actually...i've schooled him well in the aesthetic of the Perfect Ring)
marriage itself isn't as important to me.

[Jenne]

committed to him for almost 14 years, married to him for almost 9 1/2...and I'm 31 :D

[~Anamorata~]

Not married, engaged... :hearthear

[The High Queen of Faerie]

currently single and not dating

[Radocs]

Single, not dating.

[Pan]

Married, monogomous relationship. Been with him for 10 years next May, married for 3 years next April.

I'm 22. ;)

[Pandoras]

Well, since I started the post, it's only fair that I dish too.

I'm single and not really actively dating at the moment. I'm a serial monogamist. I go out with a guy for about a year, get bored or panic when it turns serious, and break it off. Then I don't date for a while, but then I meet a guy and the cycle begins again. I think I might have a fear of commitment. At least, that's what my exes tell me. That, and that I'm cold, detached, aloof, in my own world, bitchy...well, you get the picture. :hmmmmm:

[Tangerines]

Single and afraid of girls.

[Isil Darkmoon]

Handfasted, committed in our eyes but not legally married, to my male lifemate.

Emotionally involved longterm with my girlfriend; would be physically involved, but as seems to be the case with some other members in their situations, we aren't because her male isn't quite able to handle it.

And yes, in his case, it's closedmindedness and a failure to recognise how the relationships stand. He "gave us permission" to "have something physical"--IF he could 'get involved' physically. Basically, he was saying '(she) can have (me as) a girlfriend but only if it means I get a threesome!' Neither of us being pleased with that sort of attitude, we decided it was best to keep it a "(mostly-)chaste romance.

It's unfortunate; this is one of his biggest hang-ups. Otherwise I like the guy and he's a good friend. Part of it seems to be upbringing, part of it insecurity. He's got it in his head that 'bisexual' just means "his girl will eventually leave him for another girl". *sigh* some days I just want to :fishsmack him.

[Sequoia]

"Unmarried, but committed to more than one person."

:)

[FaerieGothMommy]

Unmarried, but committed to one person

[amberwolf]

Was married ....now divorced ............single at moment but occasionally dating ........wouldnt do the marriage thing again i dont think

[Élistariel]

single, not dating

[Kenshi ~]

Would asexual count? At least, that's what my friends call me. And I guess I am somewhat asexual (excluding my sexual fantasies). I hardly am interested with the opposite sex and dating.

So, if an orientation is necessary: I'm single, with a bisexual tendency every now and then but asexual most of the time and yet, am in love with a wonderful man who's no longer among the living... :wah2: :wah:

[Élistariel]

asexual is when you're not interested at all, boy or girl.
bisexual is when you like both.
heterosexual is when you only like the opposite
homosexual is when you only like the same

[Annest]

Single not dating. Sigh...

[Kenshi ~]

asexual is when you're not interested at all, boy or girl.
bisexual is when you like both.
heterosexual is when you only like the opposite
homosexual is when you only like the same


Thanks for the explanation :). The reason my friends call me asexual is, like you said, because I'm not interested in anyone...else

[Twig]

My partnering conditions are.....complicated to the average bear.

[Bainidhe Dub]

Actually, a combination of RogueSpirit's and Noriotle's situations lmfao.

I'm separated, not yet divorced, he's in TN, I'm in IL and we haven't spoken since May. But I consider myself single, and though I'm not dating at the moment, I'm open for it. *shrugs*

[Fane Ayuma]

i voted single and occasionally dating, but its more like, single and trying to get dates....

[Avalon]

Unmarried, but through with dating. I've found him. :bigredblu :smooch:

[Erites]

Unmarried and will almost certainly remain that way but commited to my SO.

[13thChylde]

I'm technically married to my husband, and spiritually handfasted to my girlfriend, although we call each other "demi~lunes" (Demi- comes from Latin dimidius, meaning “divided in half") instead of girlfriends.

If she were on this continent, I would be divorced and married to her (if we could live in Canada) but for now we live apart and very far from each other. She and I have been together for almost three years, and I've been with my husband for 10.

[DraconisArcanus]

Happily married to my soulmate for eternity! _vb_ :heybaby:

[Nephthys]

single, not dating

Just remember, keep it PG-13.I'm technically married to my husband, and spiritually handfasted to my girlfriend, although we call each other "demi~lunes" (Demi- comes from Latin dimidius, meaning “divided in half") instead of girlfriends.Demi-lunes. That's beautiful.

[Lunamoth]

Married, monogamous, have been with him since I was 19 (only married for 7 years though). He's open to me having a "demi-lune" as 13thChylde puts it (how pretty!), but I'm not in a good place to add more complication to my life just now. ;)

[Bix]

I'm unmarried...and probably won't even think about marriage until I'm out of college and probably on my way to graduate school...but I've been with my guy now for two and a half years....so we're pretty committed.

[Flaire]

Singluaire

[CleftOfLight]

single occasionally dating ready to give up line.

[Yasmine Galenorn]

Yasmine

[VroomBroom]

Married and in a monogamous relationship...for 18 years now:p

[TaysatWesir]

Separated :nuhuh:

[shenanigans]

married and polyamorous. It's not a situation that works for most people, but it works quite well for us.

[soilsigh aingeal]

Single, not dating, but starting to think about it.

[OriginalWacky]

I voted unmarried, but committed to one person.

It's not that he's not open to poly (he was poly when I met him) but that we realize that I am not secure enough, and at this point, neither of us wants anybody else, and we don't foresee it (though we don't say never, because we can't predict the future).

He offered to let me find a "friend" (male or female, though I tend to lean towards hetero), but I said no. The reasons I said no are that I don't want anybody else, I'm not upset that our sex life isn't as hot and heavy as it was due to his disability, and I'm muchly not secure enough to give him the same offer.

After more than three years since we met in person, I still feel such a rush whenever I look at him, not just sexual excitement, but a feeling of love that I never experienced before (well, I loved before, just not like this). At this point, I can't imagine ever being without him, and he seems to feel the same way.

As far as marriage, I've been once, and he's been twice, and neither of us is in much of a hurry. In fact, we may never bother with it, simply because we don't need a piece of paper to tell us we are committed. That, and we each have debts from before we were together, and marriage would make the other liable for it as well. I think I like the way things are anyway, and we had our own private handfasting three years ago, and that's good enough for me.

Now that I've rambled on entirely too long, I'll shut up.

[Pilot]

Single, currently not dating, with many female friends though- :eyebrow: maybe one of them..........haha!

[Athena-Nadine]

I'm married as of this past Saturday. :D

[earthprincess]
