What are the boundaries of different kinds of relationships?

[Anonymous]

So I’m a little fuzzy on the differences between friends, friends with benifits, situationships, relationships etc.

im currently really close friends with a guy. he's my best friend, the only person I really trust 100% and the person I feel the safest with. We both have feelings for each other but neither of us are in a good place for a relationship right now. There is also a lot of sexual tension and we flirt a lot. Not exactly sure if there’s a label for that. wouldn’t change anything between us I like how things are at the moment we’re both comfy in the relationship just curious what the label would be and what the differences are between different kinds of relationships as I don’t really know.

your case is situationship - people that are sexually/romantically interested in echother but cannot be together in that way for whateve reason

friendship - no romantic/sexual interest at least from one side, just friends

friends with benifits - people that have sex but are not in relationship

relationships - people that have sex and are exclusive to eachother

You guys are just friends but if the sexual tension gets too much you might end up adding some benefits to your relationship.

It's all the same stuff, just different labels

It's like, living with your partner, but calling it a marriage, instead of a domestic relationship. The only difference is, a legal piece of paper that lowers your taxes

boundaries are set on an individual level. Two people talk about their limits, and this creates boundaries in the relationship. Borders not to be crossed.

Each individual will have their own boundaries.
