Yes, as long as it had no bearing on the story. I don't care who someone is dating or what their sexuality is as long as it has no bearing or impact on the story. The same is true in reality. If I don't need to know then why make a point of it? It's not a joke or a funny story.
For the same reason I don't need to know how many bowel movements you've had so far today. Btw, that's a joke, but it's also true.
War story: Had a dude inform me once that the temp was 126 degrees (Fahrenheit) although I never asked. I did however, realize it was hot since it was always about that hot in Iraq at that time of the year, in that location as everyone knew.
That said, I thanked him nevertheless. I also instructed him to keep me informed of the current OAT every hour, on the dot, for the next 24 hrs. Which he dutifully did.
That said, it was the least of his problems for a day or so afterwards, since everyone had great fun at his expense. Hell, even he liked all the attention. That sort of thing was commonplace and always entertaining.
Just so you know where I'm coming from with regard to such things.

But that doesn't make any sense. They decided to make a relationship a part of the story, so who the other person is does have bearing on it. The gender of the other person shouldn't matter, but apparently to some people it does. Are you suggesting that it would have been better to just never give the identity of her partner? I fail to see how that makes a romantic story better. It's one thing to say that the story shouldn't have had a romance element to it (personally I would have preferred that), but it's entirely different to say that they shouldn't reveal anything about the second half of the romance. That's kind of an important element. What you decide is or is not a relevant detail is telling.

Ok, so you have a problem with the romance part not adding anything interesting (at least how it was written). That we can agree on.

Cool. Btw, I don't mind if someone disagrees with whatever I say as long as they make a valid and pertinent argument or ask such questions, which you did. So thank you.

You can't really disagree with someone unless you fully understand their position.

True, to a degree. Although it's not always an absolute. There are few absolutes in reality.
