Think about where you are right now. Yes, physically. Maybe you’re sharing space with someone you love, maybe you’re happily on your own, or maybe your situation is a little more complicated than a single label. For today’s poll, we want to know: What is your relationship status?
For some of you, the answer is straightforward. Married, partnered, long-term, or committed. Sharing life with someone can bring comfort, compromise, and plenty of stories along the way.
Others of you are single and perfectly content with that. Being on your own can mean freedom, flexibility, and the ability to follow your own schedule without checking in with anyone else.
For many RVers, solo travel is empowering and sometimes exactly what they want at this stage of life.
Of course, not everything fits neatly into a checkbox. Maybe you’re dating, recently divorced, widowed, or in a relationship that’s complicated to explain. Life changes, people change, and what felt permanent a few years ago may look very different today.
So what about you? How would you describe your relationship status right now? Go ahead and vote, and if you feel like sharing more of your story in the comments, you’re always welcome to.

Married over 56 years.
We will reach 56 years in February.
55 years.
Married for 56 years.
We’ve had our ups and downs throughout the years, but never anything serious.
A hug and kiss and everything is back to normal.
I’m not surprised that married is the most selected option, because the majority of RV Travel readers are in the age group where marriage was the accepted norm. Several of my nieces and nephews live with their partners but they are not interested in marriage. They see no advantage to it in today’s society.
The poll on relationship status was inadequate. My partner and I are both widowed, but live together in a committed relationship. We don’t plan to marry since i am starting RMDs and the “marriage penalty” for over 65 and combining income would push us over the Medicare IRMAA cliff resulting in additional amounts for traditional Medicare B & D for both of us. We live as though we are married.
My brother-in-law’s dad was in the same situation. They had a Pastor perform a wedding ceremony without getting a license so they could consider themselves married in the eyes of God, but not in a legal manner as far as the government was concerned. As a retired pastor, I understood why but couldn’t justify it from a moral perspective.
Happily divorced 37 years.
Married 62 years.
Married 45 years!!
Closing in on 50 second marriage, 11 first time. Dang, I’ve been married a long time.
Thank you for the question, RV Travel! “Married” is my answer. We were at 36 years last late-July, which seems a small number relative to many of my high schhol classmates and many fellow-subscribers. Have a great day, grand 2026, and safe travels!
We’re closing in on 56-years married, 58-years together, counting high school. She is the best!
We’re into our 51st year. The first 20 I was gone a lot due to me being in the Navy in a sea intensive rate. 5 years sea duty, 2 years shore, or 3 if you opted for the more intensive duty. We had to go through a lot of adjustments to get along with each other and stay together to make it to this point.
Hi Dan: First thank you for your Navy service. A military career is difficult on marriage due to the commitments required to the service and the lack of understanding on the part of the spouse – as in “duty calls” and one must report no matter what is happening domestically. Navy sea duty is perhaps the most trying on marriages and raising kids as well. A great deal of understanding is required by both parties. Congratulations to you both on 50+ years. Now you both can enjoy the earned benefits of your service. Thanks again.
Married to my high school sweetheart for 63 years. In my eyes she was the prettiest girl in school and still is. One more thing…..her kisses are still sweeter than wine and I love being married to her.
Domestic Partners for 39 yrs.
After fulfilling two years of military service, then future wife and I completing four years of college we married. She had to drop out of graduate school when our identical twin boys were born. That marriage was 64 years ago. Even though she is now getting into Alzheimer’s disease we both still enjoy going out in the motorhome. We now live in a retirement home that provides meals and many services.
