Relationship Talk: "I Don't Know If I'm Single Or Married"

I wouldn't want to scare men away from me considering the fact that I am now open for another relationship

Hi Admin,

Many thanks to what you do.

I have been separated from my husband for close to 2 years, awaiting divorce soon. We have since agreed to move on with our lives,  but I really don't know to introduce my status to people.

So far I tell people I'm married since we are not officially divorced, but I feel that could not be in my  interest. I wouldn't want to scare men away from me considering the fact that I am now open for another relationship.

On the other hand, I feel odd telling strangers I just met or even acquaintances that am single because I wouldn't want to go ahead to disclose that i'm separated. But if I don't explain, I might run the risk of looking like I had a child out of wedlock.

I don't have any ring on my finger  as I tell my "askers" that I choose not to, out of personal convictions.

Please what exactly is the correct way to introduce my status considering my circumstances. Single or married?

Chioma.

Hello Chioma,

Your marital status shouldn't much of an issue as long as the question being posed to you isn't insulting, you are free to tell anyone you meet whatever you like.

Only tell people you meet about your status when they ask and let them know what you think they should know, there's no need to divulge too much information especially if isn't needed.

You owe nobody an explanation about your marital status except your place of employment (If you aren't self-employed), a potential partner, your family and very close friends.

All the best.
