Significant relationships (and sexual behaviour) are distinct from sexual orientation, and one does not necessarily or consistently predict the other. Sexual orientation should always be asked about regardless of relationship status. For example, someone may indicate being in relationships with only men, but may identify as bisexual, or someone is married to a person of the opposite gender but identifies as gay. For some people, sexual orientation is continuous and fixed throughout their lives. For others, sexual orientation may be fluid and change over time. There is a broad spectrum of sexual orientations. One way to think about sexual orientation is as a fluid continuum that ranges from exclusive same-gender attraction to exclusive opposite-gender attraction, with many points in between.
