Is the question mark there to indicate you aren't sure what you're saying?
No, a question mark in its common usage usually means that a question has been asked. HTH. |

Well, it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Had she stayed with Sean "out of respect" and cheated on him with Giovanni she would be a cheating sl*g. As she clearly broke up with Sean before going on a holiday with Gio she's also a cheating sl*g. You can never win with some people, they have their own axes to grind. |

A sentence would usually be in a question format though. Yours was just an unsure statement.

Gordon Bennett! Is it only me? What is it with this forum and the "hey, so what if you're in a relationship, if you fall for someone else then sod the other person"? I had never even heard of Sean whatsit before Georgia kept tweeting about how he was the love of her life but I don't half feel sorry for the poor bloke.
They were 'going out', she met someone else she decided she would prefer to 'go out' with, so what? When you date someone for the first time are you stuck with that 'relationship' for the rest of your life? Are you not allowed to just drop the person and move on to another one for some reason? If so, what is the reason? Different matter if you have got officially engaged as you have made some commitment but it is still no tragedy to break the engagement for whatever reason. Only breaking a marriage commitment should attract any real criticism. Maggie |

No, its not just you. I feel the same - especially as he was there each week, supporting Georgia all the way, standing up to applaud her. Tweets each week asking viewers to vote for her.....I do feel sorry for him. He seems a lovely guy, he has been out helping feed the homeless over Christmas.
Thank goodness it's not just me! Thank you Jennifer_F. |

It's common when you're young to see a few different people until you stumble upon 'Mr/Mrs Right'. Also, as Sean is handsome and without children - I can't see him having any difficulties finding someone new. A marriage is a real commitment and entails promises like spending your life together. I think the rupture of that sort of partnership is much more devastating. |

And as i said, why do any of you care what other people posting on this forum think about someone none of you know?? Unless you are related to Georgia i do not understand why so many people care what others say! That says a lot about you, you need to get out more.
I appreciate that it’s very easy to make insulting comments behind the facade of an anonymous username but would you say that to her face if you met her in public? If the answer is no, then I strongly suggest you consider whether those sorts of opinions should be published on a public forum. |

'Single' means whatever the person using it wants it to mean. Words don't have an inherent meaning, they change over time and according to context.
One person's 'single' might mean completely unattached, another person's 'single' might mean seeing someone but nothing serious and no commitments. Back to dictionary friendly usage (as my head hurts ), if people have an open relationship that is a different thing, still not single but another type of "in a relationship". If it is after say 1 or 2 dates maybe "single" seems fine. After months in a monogamous relationship to say you are single because you are not married/engaged or have not been successful in using contraceptives, sounds like having your cake and eating it too. It is so common these days for people to be together (without kids) for many years or even a lifetime and reject marriage (for whatever reasons) that focusing on bits of paper is wildly old-fashioned.Incidentally I am not making any judgment of Georgia. If she has split up or found someone new, so be it. If she was married I would say the same. It's better to be happy for everyone's sake. She was not single though, because however fluid the language may be the word does have a meaning. |

What an extraordinary post. So you ask why people care about Georgia despite not knowing her, well I care about what is said about Georgia because like you, or I or indeed any member of the human race she doesn’t deserve to have offensive, sexist, and completely unsubstantiated insults thrown at her. You say that caring about what is said about her says a lot about us, I agree – I like to think it shows that we are somewhat compassionate and have some sense of what is just and what blatantly isn’t.
I appreciate that it’s very easy to make insulting comments behind the facade of an anonymous username but would you say that to her face if you met her in public? If the answer is no, then I strongly suggest you consider whether those sorts of opinions should be published on a public forum. ps. Can we stop with these endless posts about what the word "single" means? It's all totally irrelevant now anyway. |

Brilliant post Brian. Some people seem to forget, or they don't care, that these insulting posts can be read by the whole world including Georgia's family. They obviously love her very much and would be devastated to read some of the things written about her on social media.
I am not condoning insulting language - just to make that clear. But, there is a certain double standard going on here with people being rightly concerned for Georgia's family if they read the posts but, by the same token dismissing the feelings of dumped partners because hey, that's life, people move on! |

No one is attacking Sean, therefore there is less need for a defense. There is a double standard but this is not it. Like i said, people need to not make assumptions. |

Okay, I officially give up. I'm a stranger in my own language and an old-fashioned fuddy duddy to boot.
When did "single" start meaning "not single, just not married or co-parenting"? I also found the "news" article interesting in assuming Georgia broke up with Sean. For all anyone knows, he might have ended it when he realised she'd fallen for Giovanni - if indeed that's what's happened. |

No, there's a reaction against the piling on, to attack Georgia.

There would be no "dismissal" of Sean's feelings at all if there hadn't been such a nasty response to Georgia in the first place! The majority of supportive comments about Georgia are in defence of rudeness and accusation. Of course I feel for Sean, but he's not the one being attacked - we don't even know the specifics of what has happened. |

I certainly agree with the sentiment that being in a relationship is not the same as being single, but I certainly think there is a huge gap between a boyfriend/girlfriend scenario and a marriage.
It's common when you're young to see a few different people until you stumble upon 'Mr/Mrs Right'. Also, as Sean is handsome and without children - I can't see him having any difficulties finding someone new. A marriage is a real commitment and entails promises like spending your life together.
