Does "situationship" mean. . ?

It's so stupid and full of drama that I'm embarrassed to tell anyone the details?

A "situationship" is a non-exclusive, poorly defined romantic or sexual relationship.

Some key characteristics of a situationship:

• There are unclear boundaries - The people involved are not officially in a relationship, but there are some romantic and/or sexual elements.

• It lacks clear communication - The people involved have not had a real discussion to define what they are to each other or set expectations.

• There is ambiguity - It's unclear where the situationship is headed, if anywhere. The future is uncertain.

• There are mixed signals - The people involved send each other conflicting messages about their level of interest or commitment.

• It's often "casual" - There isn't a high level of emotional intimacy, just a casual physical component.

• It causes confusion - Because it lacks definition, a situationship can be a source of uncertainty, ambiguity and mixed feelings.

• There are often issues with jealousy - Because the situationship is left "undefined", feelings of jealousy can arise when one person sees the other dating others casually.

So in summary, a situationship describes an ambiguous, undefined type of romantic or sexual connection that often leads to confusion, mixed signals and lack of fulfillment for one or both people involved.

The best way to avoid a situationship is through open, honest communication to define the relationship for what it is and set expectations. But it sounds like in your case, the situationship is already causing drama and embarrassment - so the healthiest move may be to clarify things or end it for the sake of your own emotional wellbeing.

Hope this helps explain! Let me know if you have any other questions.

It means she is fucking some guy but either he won't give her a relationship or she's for the streets and doesn't want a real relationship.

Your involved in a situation that is complicated.

They aren't complicated, they're just a result of terrible decision making and people are too embarrassed to admit the truth.

"We're fucking because no one else will have us, but we don't like each other enough to have a real relationship."

It's not that complicated. It's just sad.
