Yes, unfortunately, in this PC euphemistic age, “single” often means “just not married right now”. As in divorced, widowed.
I hate the bastardization of terminology to make 1self look better.
Once again, and I might of understated it later, Jeanne Assam , was where she was suppose to be. If her life had been altered in a different direction, she might not of been in that spot at the right time. Destiny fufilled.
I hope you did not mean that the way that it sounded. It sounds as if you're saying that those who are divorced or widowed are not as good as those who have never been married and are deceitfully attempting to make themselves look as good as the never-married. Surely that was not your intent.
