But your back-up is the person you marry if neither of you are married to anyone else by a certain point.

Can't you get something done about that? :)<BR/><BR/>Sage - That's a good idea. So when they ask about my relationship, I can just give them that story. Why didn't I think of that! I must be slipping in my old age here.<BR/><BR/>Cami - Yeah, they definitely need to add crush on there. I guess the booty call could fall under "it's complicated." Then again, it's all complicated.<BR/><BR/>Murf - Well then, I shall be anxiously waiting to see if Sage has a comment about that. I think open relationship is definitely the most fun option Facebook offers.<BR/><BR/>And I had no idea you were a voyeur! Wonder who else is out there looking.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. R - What? There's nothing wrong with having a backup and a safety. All he needs to worry about is making sure his backup isn't also a backup for three other people.<BR/><BR/>Pia - So I'm learning.
