I apologise but I just need to vent my anger somewhere. I have just been filling in a form and where it asked for marital status, divorced/separated/widowed were all lumped together as one. Totally insensitive. How dare they? They are completely different. I AM MARRIED!
It annoys me too, the other two categories can never be associated with the third one, I still canāt bring myself to say that word in relation to my marital status, it is a label that is alien to me like you, Iām still married, Iām not single, not divorced nor am I separated,
You vent all you wish, Iām right up there with you Kate

Itās so sad every day is getting worse all I want is my soulmate back in my arms every second I feel like im being choked its taking my breath away my heart hurts so bad x
Good for you, pleased Iām not the only one. When I was insuring my car, I had to tell them that Brian was no longer the other driver (itās my car). First of all I was told it would cost me another Ā£18 to have his name taken off, so I told them to leave it on then. Then the man on the other end of the line said he would put me down as widow. I hate that word and immediately snapped back that I was married and wished to stay that way. He must have thought I was a bad tempered customer I have no intention of taking off my rings. I too AM MARRIED to Brian and will remain so for the rest of my days. If they honestly think we can cast our loved ones to one side just like that then they are so wrong. Pat xxx

I so agree with everyoneās comments the words widow/widower are so ugly .
I have been watching a programme about people getting married in Cyprus, and every time the registrar says ātil death do us separate ā I shout at the tv!. Rubbish I am as married as I was before he died
EXACTLY !!! Letās start our own club. How dare anyone tell us we are not married anymore. Death wonāt part me from my Brian. I love him more than ever.
100% agree with you. Kate. I was told on the phone lately, āIāll put you down as single now the marriage as endedā. I said, āput me down as whatever you like I actually donāt care. My marriage is very much alive as am I and that wonāt ever change. Your thoughts and opinions are irrelevant to me, just as mine obviously are to youā¦ā
Insensitivity at its finest (red angry face emoji)! xx
