I'm curious about the demographic makeup of Kbin. As we are still in it's infancy I feel that most lean towards a certain way, so I made this survey just now to find out. I encourage you to join in, and you can skip any and every question if you so choose. You can view the results at the bottom of the page.

Yes, I was going to add "complicated" and maybe other options, but ultimately I decided not to but maybe I should? This was a generated question so that should answer your question.

I think though if it's of interest of people maybe I should. What do you think?

Single, married, divorced, and widowed are legal concepts that cover everything that can without being overcomplicated with a million personal preferences and 'complicated' is meaningless without every single unique person's context.

Or add a separate question about whether they feel their situation is more complicated than that without muddling clear answers on legal status.

I guess this must apply to the society you and @Peacemeal12 live in, for sure. But I was actually talking about legal terms.

Where I live, civil unions and common law (de facto) relationships of more than 2 years have the exact same legal standing as marriage.

So the question usually includes De Facto, and Married or in a Civil Union.

If they are the same as marriage then that is a distinction without a difference.

Depends on the purpose of the demographics.

I think collecting the stats on it first is probably a big part of why we slowly changed our laws to give them all the same rights - when we saw how many people were being affected.

@Peacemeal12 I wasn't thinking about "complicated" and stuff like that.

It's just the usual legal category for my relationship in my own country was missing and I was surprised it must be still like that in the US.
