    OP, there seems to be a desperate need for a fine-tuning of your poll categories; 'not in a relationship' is hardly related to 'paying for sex'! The same with 'bored / seeing someone on the side' - they're not synonymous conditions, and may make people (including myself) resistant to voting.

    And arranged and forced marriages are hardly the same!

    You never gave an option for the long term happily married/partnered person.

    I put other - long term very happily married. Together 15 married 11 love him to bits. Not sure why you've not put a long term happy choice.

    The long term choices all have negative connotations - contrary to perhaps popular beleif, not all long term relationships are at the stage where they hate the other person breathing.

    I went for 'sooo loved up', as it was the closest to the way I feel, though it makes me sound like a young teenager.

    I think he's wonderful. He has his flaws, we don't always agree on things but I've definitely got a keeper. Though I don't, as the poll option makes me imagine, giggle like a schoolgirl every time he walks into the room and swoon whenever he speaks. :p

    I'm in a pretty good relationship of 4 years with the boyfriend. He can get on my tits sometimes, but in return, he puts up with all the rubbish that I'm going through and ranting at him about.
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    The strongest love and bond goes way deeper than any of that doesn't it. Shame the person who started this poll cant recognise that.

    Very happily married. However with a 9 month old and another baby on the way I don't know that 'soooo loved up right now' is suitable; more 'very good but too tired to even think about it properly' :)
