    We've come full circle on this one - from a single woman who calls her man "hubby" to a couple of uncommitted teenagers calling themselves partners :)

    See that is another confusing one - who is and isn't single? I suppose the legal definition is that anyone who isn't currently married is single, it's binary. But I wouldn't say that cohabitees or people in some sort of exclusive relationship were single, to me being single means on your own.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    As I keep saying on DT threads about gay marriage, what other people call their relationships, has absolutely no effect on yours!

    I'm intrigued... what is a DT thread?

    Discussion Time, elsewhere on MSE forums, I think.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
