VenusBetty: Its either you're single or married. Don't be deceived

Enasco1: wc means those in a relationship are stil single irrespective of their commitment.

ronald4lif: I beg to differ, single is one who is not involve romantically with anyone, when in a relationship one is no longer single but is said to be "in a relationship" when such question of their status arises. The notion that one should only be regarded as being single when not married, even they are in relationship is incorrect and will help with increasing the rate in which people cheats
