OK! And significant other is someone you live with or not? In Swedish, we call the partner we live with, but are not married to..which is very common here..and the relationship is protected by law, a "sambo"..freely translated, it means "person you live with".

Interesting. Generally, the title "significant other" is a politically correct way of saying who one lives with.

Maybe true in the States, then..not here. To me, significant other gives me room for more significant others..but as I say, I haven´t lived in the States for YEARS and YEARS. So..I honestly don´t know a thing about this. Thank you for answering!

I feel like a revolving door...
Married = widowed
Married = widowed
Married = divorced
Single = hopefully forever...

I used SO because one a person could be in a very committed relationship and be gay, for example, or there are those who have alll the committments of marriage but choose to stay unmarried. These people do not consider themselves single even if they are not legally married or cannot, for some reason, be legally married.

My goodness, Anne3, I read your post! You have had just about every kind of creep there is, right? Your story there reminded me of a good friend of mine who caught her husband with her daughter and had to take care of him poste haste!

I'm sorry you caught such a loser! Maybe more than one?
I hope that here in Arizona, you find a good man to be with. If he is a Native, he is usually a good person here.
Others are running from something, usually!
