They could be private "tags", useful to filter the feed.
Or you can add a public visibility flag and show them only if the two npubs match the same status (ex. partner, family, etc).
I am very curious to hear the feedback on this

I am not sure. I have heard the need for publically saying something but privately something else, even between friends :(
So, I made it to do private only and not add noise to the public record. But we can change
I think private and public areas can be managed differently:
- Privately we can have general purpose tags, that can *also* be used for relationships.
- Publicly the relationships between two users should match to be activated, and maybe the relationships should have a predefined list of values (i18n issue here).
