I guess it depends on timeframe for the significant other Cindy asked about.
Labelling the king's ladyfriends mistresses way back may be
quite OK, but I doubt the persons living together today would think that is the
right way of labelling the women in those
relationships.

I agree with Ian, that is how I do it.
To tag the female partner as a Mistress gives the partnership a feeling
of something illegal to be spoken about in hushed tones. In my younger
days a mistress was " a bit on the side."
Just my thoughts.

There is a Not Married check box in Marriage information section. I just
put the name in as a Spouse and then check off the no record of Marriage.

Considering this was normal behavior for kings, peers, and many other people in
the past, I would check "not married" and add a note that she was a mistress,
which is what they used to be called.

Is there a way in the Legacy software to add a "significant other"
girlfriend that
is not married to the man even though they have been together for years?
