Your marital status?
 
This term coined by urbandictionary is what I like to use now:

Some-sex marriage :D

It only works for me in English, but describes very well the marital status of a working couple with teenage children, not having much time for the relationship.

Do people often want to know your marital status?

What kind of replies you have in stock, if you want to describe your status with some humour?

I don't really joke about my marriage. My wife would kill me if I did.

bagatelle 02-16-2011 02:51 AM

Those two sentences tell me a lot already.

Plan9 02-16-2011 03:23 AM

I usually tell women that I'm "pre-owned."

S summed it up for me a few years ago: heterosexual life partner.

Until we find a better reason (most likely financial) to be married than to not be, we'll remain heterosexual life partners.

Charlatan 02-16-2011 04:41 AM

Married for 18... together for 23. Pragmatic to the end.

genuinegirly 02-16-2011 05:13 AM

Madly in love (with my spouse).

Baraka_Guru 02-16-2011 05:15 AM

Common law (or indefinitely engaged)

mixedmedia 02-16-2011 06:03 AM

I am single.
But on certain government applications I am sometimes forced to check 'divorced.'
But that's fatalistic thinking to me.

The_Jazz 02-16-2011 06:09 AM

I'm married and I'll sometimes joke about it, depending on the audience. Sometimes even in front of her, again depending on the audience. Close friends, yes; priest who married us, no.

The forms get filled out with "common-law" for me, and my Lady fills them out "separated" because her ex just won't sign divorce papers. Not sure why - I think it has to do with his fear of having to ante up child support. meh Sometimes he comes over to do the kid thing and we're still in bed. "My husband's here" she says. I think she likes having a husband and a lover at the same time :)

We refer to each other husband/wife in casual conversation dealing with whatnot when out and about. We think of each other as lover, friend, partner, that special someone that managed somehow to happen in spite of it all.

She's my Lady. I'm her Love. Not funny in the sense that the OP talks about, but it is what it is.

Married. We've been together for 5 years, married for almost 6 mos. So far, marriage isn't that different from living together, other than I get to call him "my husband." I like that. Also, I got to do our taxes together, and that was a nice timesaver.

bobby 02-16-2011 07:47 AM

After 43 years of marrage I introduce "My Old Lady' as my first wife....xoxoxoo

Cimarron29414 02-16-2011 12:35 PM

Dude, you look like you are about 26 to 28. You really have three "D"s under your belt? I'm missing something, clearly.

G~man 02-16-2011 12:52 PM

I think he means he is allowed 4 wives before his religion sees him as 'married' :)

dlish 02-16-2011 07:57 PM

exactly. once i realise the 4th wife, im officially off the market ;)

3 more to go...yeah right!

oh, and im much older than 26-28 that you think i am Cim!

Plan9 02-16-2011 08:02 PM

Yeah, Dlish is old enough to be my other father.

Starkizzer 02-16-2011 08:35 PM

Married 10 months, together for 8 years. Its been fun and I am with snowy, being married is no different than living together. We are best friends, we have grown up together, we fight like cats and dogs and we make up like bunnies. ;)

My best friend calls him Love Muffin, so I sometimes call him that. I still forget we are married sometimes and slip and call him my fiance or bf.

I was going to say: well recycled.

dlish 02-17-2011 03:16 AM

talking about recycling, if i reach the 4th one, and decide to get a divorce from one of those four, i'd be officially back on the market again. ;)

Cimarron29414 02-17-2011 06:07 AM

Of course! Sorry, dlish. I knew that, it just didn't come to the surface before I posted. Apologies.

MSD 02-17-2011 04:56 PM

Single and not putting any effort into changing that. I'm just lazy.

Anormalguy 02-17-2011 07:49 PM

:thumbsup: 24th wedding anniversary is rapidly approaching.

levite 02-17-2011 08:15 PM

I love telling people I'm married. I have been looking forward to being married for half my life, and I just fuckin' love it.

Not only do I proudly say that I'm married, but Mrs. Levite and I sometimes affectionately address one another as "Wife" and "Husband."

And lest ye crack jokes, as did one of my single friends, about me being whipped, I will note that I said to him, "Maybe, but if you weren't in my living room, I'd be having sex right now."

Dude. Dude. If I ever get married again, I want you to do the ceremony. I'd want your blessing.
