if someone was to say:

"but in the current absence of my significant other, guess it'll have to do."

(note; that this is a reply from "It'd be more appropriate from a guy"

does it mean that the person saying this doesn't have a significant other.

or does it mean that they have one but is not currently there at present.

(significant other here is being used as a intimate partner type. )
