When/if you use the word "situationship," what does it actually mean?

[OlderAndWiser]

When I hear someone use a word like "situationship," I assume that they are using an ambiguous word because they want to avoid disclosing details. And that means there are details they don't want to disclose. E. g., maybe they have reunited with an ex from a previous relationship that ended horribly, or maybe they are cheating on a current partner, or it is an abusive relationship.

"Please don't ask!"

But. . . I do not use the word, and maybe it means something different to other people. What does "situationship" mean to you?

I hate it to be honest. I just want it to end. I'm so freaking tired of the concept of situationships and friends with benefits.

It just means one of the people usually the guy is not willing to commit. I don't want to be in that type of arrangement anymore. It's so degrading and really doesn't do anything for your dignity. It's soul crushing. I'm just tired of it.

If he doesn't commit to me this time when he sees me for his birthday, I'm done done.

[dudeinohio]

Yeah. Get out of that mess and find someone who will commit.

This is new to me recently a few members posted questions abut situation-ship… so I learned.

just like friends with benefits and other terms… all these mean no commitment, no responsibilities.

in other words… sounds like this:

well he hasn’t broken up with her but he loves me so this situation is blab blab blab… 😂 Have you two met? No because …. No answer … anon…

Come to think of it…. Have only heard from girls.

They need a word for everything, it's complete and utter BS in my opinion , and the use of it never justified , it's not going to be part of my vocabulary.

[LazerBean]

To me, that's the word a person uses when they know it's a dead end relationship but don't want to admit it

[Agape93]

For me it's when I'm in a relationship while I'm in a certain place for a short time. A situational relationship

Nail, head. It means something ambiguous, undefined and neither party wants to define it presently. No one's boyfriend or girlfriend, it's not a relationship, friendship, friends with benefits or anything else...

Friends with benefits, fuckbuddy, bit on the side. Situationship is just more Facebook friendly. No one has a bastard kid with their fuckbuddy anymore, it's a lovechild from a Situationship.
