undercommited
estamos felizmente casados y sin compromiso


Explanation:
Para mí, "seeing someone" no conlleva vivir juntos normalmente, más bien simplemente salir con alguien, se refiere a una relación sin ataduras.
El comentario también está en clave de humor, ya que los dos se ríen, yo me decantaría por algo más radical como apunta Cecilia.
