asked a few readers to describe their relationship statuses in one word and the answers were pretty hilarious.
Nanguler Panduleni felt her relationship was on cloud nine. “Superb,” she answered. Fair enough.
Andrew Shatimwene’s word was straight to the point as well. “Understandable,” he said. No questions asked!
