Yeah, a lot of people interested in psychology are because of their own issues. My mother's doing a counselling degree and I have to say I'm rather scared of her working as a counsellor. Even she text me the other day to say "I feel like a fraud doing this course when I can't cope with my own life". Hum.
To go back like 3 pages, I find it interesting that anyone would find the word "partner" sterile. Each to their own and that but I'm just not quite sure why. I find boy/girlfriend somewhat juvenile and shallow sounding, though I use it sometimes (like when saying "why did I have to get such a dumb boyfriend?" to him. Partner wouldn't work in that sentence :-D), and I admit I am more judgemental when someone says they are married than I'd like to be. Or not judgemental so much as thinking to myself "hmm, I wonder why they got married and what their relationship's like", which I don't do when someone says partner. :-P
Oh and the idea of being a wife or having a husband makes me deeply uncomfortable. *shudder*

What? Sorry, I did not mean to excuse the dude's conduct I was just addressing semantical issues because that is a thing I do sometimes.

What are you referring to when you say you were addressing semantical issues? Were you doing that by asking me to clarify my post, or were you doing it in your post about the psych professor? Also I am not sure what you are asking me to clarify either.
De_El:
I am not asking you to clarify anything, what I meant by "What?" was more like "What? No." as in "What? No, that is not what I meant."
I was addressing the semantical issues in whether the psych professor gentleman decided not to marry someone (nominally) because he discovered some answer to the question of whether his fiancé peed in the shower, or because he realized he did not know the answer. I thought it was the latter. Whether or not the reason is any good is something else entirely.

Oh sorry, I just realized I meant to respond to the original anecdote, which was actually shared by Darkbluerabbit and not you. My bad!
