One day I asked what someone’s relationship status was, and they said “I have a girlfriend but she’s been missing and is presumed dead, so I don’t know if getting another GF would be cheating”. It’s at that moment when I realized how complicated relationship statuses can get. Like that Seinfeld episode where the guy is in a coma so he lends his girlfriend to another guy.
This is definitely complicated, were you perhaps involved?
Not from the inside. It’s the kind of situation that spills over into community, friend groups, and projects people are involved in though.
