Edward Parise said: The "Events" window should offer more options to properly describe a relationship. I suggest the following options be added; "friendship", "lover/close friend", or maybe "other" with the ability to type in a sentence or 2 to accurately describe a situation.

Many years ago I had an affair that produced a child who did the DNA thing recently and found me as his biological father. In my family tree, I inserted myself and his mother as "living together" as the closest correct option offered but that is very inaccurate. We never lived together, we never married, divorced, annulled, etc. There are probably millions of people in a similar situation with the same dilemma. Please add these options that can help paint an accurate picture; not a fake one.
