Need More "Relationship Types"

Question

It's an awkward request...but what about one-night-stands, affairs, sexual assaults?

I include all of those when they result in children. I can understand "affairs" going under "relationships", but if a one-night-stand is just a hookup, and a sexual assault definitely isn't a relationship.

Those should reflect accurately.

Right now you can have: partners, extra partners, and ex-partners. I think what you want to cover could be covered as an ex-partner. But maybe a new non-partner type would be better. It would be a good idea to see how other genealogy programs handle this, and to see if whatever you want to do fits within the GEDCOM format.

You can add 'other' and type in the relationship. For example, I have two people who are in a relationship that is they have a kid, but no specific relationship, and I used other to put mother\father relationship.
