I'm scared to ask, but what is a "situationship"?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 10 months ago

A relationship for people who are scared of the word 'relationship'

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Basically relationship with no official label as both parties don't want to commit but enjoy things as they are.

Realistically more suffering than enjoying, because they want someone to comit to them, but not comit themselves, ever bound in a cycle of emotional on-off turmoil.

Or more frequently, somebody who thought they were dating but didn't explicitally ask and somebody who's got zero intention of dating but isn't going to make that clear as to not lose the benefits.

Or even rarer and kinkier, frenemies with benefits

Ah sweet, hate fucking 👍

A portmanteau for people who can't commit.

I thought it meant that the two people were together because of the situation they are in and when it changes they are going on their way. Like anonymous sex but sometimes dinner and a movie.
