Complicated to me usually means they either like someone but aren't official yet (or even dating)or the relationship doesn't have an official status. I used to put it's complicated when I was in love with me who didn't want me. This was so no one else contacted me. It often means that the person is married but doesn't want to say.

"I've made choices in life that are not logical or sound and totally based on my personal feelings and realize as much. "It's too complicated" to explain to others because in doing so I would also have to explain my perosnal logic...which as stated is "illogical""

It's complicated = I'm still emotionally invested in my ex and/or we haven't finalised the financial side of our break up. Either way I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft barge pole.

"it's complicated" often means: FWB, or FWB but hoping it evolves into more.

Complicated = unresolved relationship issues = do not date

Make it clear so someone can make a determination if they want to invest their time with you or not. If your life is that murky, get it fixed first before you involve someone else.

"In the midst of a break up....still effing around with my ex...even though the relationship is passed the expiration date."

That is what I get from it.

It's a red flag for me.

Or it could mean that the person asking should back off and not ask personal questions like that.

lol @ red flag *sigh*


anyways, i came up with the gender translation


Woman: "Well, i got a man but i don't really like him that much but i want so badly to be in a relationship"

Man: "Well, i got a main chick and i got a decent side chick right now, but good looking out.."

Or they're in a one-sided open relationship with someone who disapproves or with someone who doesn't want to be faithful.

The OP, should simply let them know they may call once the problems resolve themselves and they're officially single.

If you are in a break/separation, and it's just the step before the ultimate split, I believe that you say single/separated/divorced.

Complicated isn't in a relationship, but hopes to repair/salvage it.
OK, then they should try to work on their suffering relationship, not flirting and try to date other people.

What currently separated means? That's wishy-washy. That's not a honest answer when trying to date others. That's an uncertain status, and a red flag.

You get separated, then divorced and you are done. Or you are still trying to fix that relationship, then you should focus on that - not flirting and trying to get dates.

Separated means to me - person is currently legally married but is no longer living with their spouse (for any reason other than illness, work or school), and have not obtained a divorce. Those who live with a common-law partner are not included in this category.

I don't like it, and would not get involved till divorce is final. Way too much drama.
