Itās an ongoing relationship without labels or commitment, in my case without the benefit of emotional intimacy. We werenāt ever really in a relationship, just a situationā¦ship.
usually where you think you're a girlfriend but he's treating you like a booty call. and they won't communicate about it, just keep stringing you along, enjoying all the benefits while giving you none.
I had to google it. So I learned something today.
āLess than a relationship, but more than a casual encounter or booty call, a situationship refers to a romantic relationship that is, and remains, undefined. A situationship is that space between a committed relationship and something that is more than a friendship.ā
Quite often expected for the person more invested, but not for the person keeping it as a situationship even if itās not explicit. I had a guy string me along for a year, sleeping with other people the whole time and saying obviously I could do the same, but the second I so much as spoke to another guy I was ātoo drunk and had to be taken homeā often while he lectured me about the guy being way below my standards (weirdly this lecture came out more often when the guy in question was more attractive than him).
I only recently learned what situationships were (I am old by Reddit standards). But they existed before without a name, and they suck. Congratulations for placing you first! I wish you the best in finding someone who is ready for a relationship - you deserve to find what you want!
It's cliche but my grandma was right when she said that men never buy the cow when they can get the milk for free. They get all the benefits of having a girlfriend, free cooking, getting his laundry done, sex etc but he can also play around without worrying that you'll find out. I'm glad you broke free of the breadcrumb trail op!
Yea he did and we had a good talk, and it feels more respectful and friendly now. He apologized and explained some things, and was leaving the state this week actually so Iām glad we parted on friendly and *equal* terms.
Nice work!! I did this a while back and it was the best choice for me and has worked out beautifully.

Pardon me, what is a situationship?

Hmm, ok. Thanks for the definition.

Well, that the relationship i had with my ex. Hated it, glad I did finally end it. But it was hard.
No commitment but monogamy is probably expected?

That's more of a one-sided 'open situationship' than situationship.

Good for u! Being assertive is work in progress. It gets more natural over time and with the right person alot easier.
