To add onto Situationships, most people think that it is a bad idea, but that is not necessarily the case. Everyone’s needs change with time, and a point may come where being in a situationship is the ideal thing for you. There may be a time in your life where you only want to enjoy the moment and not worry about the future, or you do not want to overthink too much about what type of relationships you may be getting involved in. This is when a situationship might be perfect for you.
But, we must understand that a situationship is healthy if and only if both parties are aware that they are in a situationship. If either of the concerned parties is under the assumption that this relationship is anything more than just a situationship, then it is not going to work out. At this point, you need to sit down together and talk about your boundaries, whatever they may be in that situation. You need to ensure that you are clear about what you are expecting out of that relationship and why a situationship is ideal for you to avoid any confusion in the future. Once both of you are on the same page, then you can find happiness and be content, even in a situationship.
Most people find it convenient to be in a situationship when they are not entirely settled in their personal life. You may not want another person to be an important part of your life when you are still in the process of figuring things out about your own life. Especially someone who you might be interested in romantically, as it may add to the disbalance in your life rather than reduce the stress. Therefore, both parties should know what to expect from each other to avoid misunderstandings or false hopes in the future.
A situationship can easily become a defined relationship. All you need to do is sit down together with your partner and talk about it (Define it basically :p). Either one of the two parties has to take the first step and initiate the “talk” so that you can clearly define what the both of you should expect out of this relationship. If both the individuals agree and are on the same page, then they can actually have a very fulfilling relationship within a situationship, just like any other healthy relationship.
In conclusion, the most important thing is to know what your expectations and boundaries are. You need to understand what you expect out of the relationship, and even more importantly, what you do not want out of that relationship. Ensure that what you have is healthy. It doesn’t have to fit into the “societal norms”, but as long as there is respect, trust, and open communication, and the situationship makes you happy, then you are good to go. Situationships can not be defined as either good or bad, it all depends on the people involved. And, just like any other type of relationship, it can have advantages and disadvantages depending on your circumstances.
As a final reminder, you do not have to stay in a situationship, just for the sake of your partner, especially when you are not on the same page as them. Respect yourself enough to choose what kind of relationships you are comfortable with and to walk away from those that are not healthy for you.
