If someones relationship status on fb is "in a domestic relationship" what does that mean?

[madmisskelly]

It should be "domestic partnership" which is another way of saying a Lesbian or Gay relationship- because gay marriage isn't legal everywhere, some states allow for "domestic partnership."

Ive heard some straight couples use the term, but I more often than not hear it used in gay or lesbian relationships.

[whattothink]

thats what I thought

[What-do-I-know]

"domestic partnership" would be more accurate BUT whattothink wrote that he's moving in with a person of the same sex. What other conclusion can one draw from that? A girlfriend that lives somewhere else & a roommate that is male & he changes his status to "in a domestic relationship" Then his status would be dating.

[madmisskelly]

Then maybe its not legal, maybe he is assuming "domestic partnership" also means a gay relationship? If he were straight, surely he wouldn't feel the need to change his relationship status.

try chrome or something, ie's pure sh*t

[whattothink]

big fan of microsoft love it.

[Habakkuk]

I'm a big fan of ms too, but I realize they can't make a decent browser to save their lives. chrome is the fastest browser out there. That's not opinion, that's cold hard fact. It's also minimalistic and gets out of your way

[What-do-I-know]

They're living with someone.

[whattothink]

ok good enough though now apparently they are moving in with a friend of the same gender which is fine. just shocking since we dated quite seriously back in the day.

[What-do-I-know]

I'm taking it now as same sex? They are still living with someone in a relationship.If I'm right about what you mean I knew a guy that was married but his wife left him because he was gay. Not that there's anything wrong with being gay but I agree with her you can't be married in a heterosexual marriage & have a significant other on the side or want to be with another person of the same sex.

[whattothink]

no he and I dated quite seriously back in the day even talked about marriage and kids and whatnot. Now he is apparently moving in with a friend, of the same gender, and changed his relationship status to in a domestic relationship. perhaps I am just still in shock

[What-do-I-know]

That's why I gave the example of the married couple. They were even going to have a baby but unfortunately (maybe fortunately) she had a miscarriage.

I think that your in shock as we all were when we found out this married couple was divorcing because he came out of the closet.
