We love labels. But in some cases, it’s just impossible to find one. A situationship is a romantic or physical — for the lack of a better word — connection that lacks commitment, expectations, and therefore, definition.
It sits in the gray area: more intimate than friendship, but not exclusive.
To get a clearer sense of what that looks like, we invite you to jump in with us on an online thread where people have shared the most diabolical things their situationships have said to them.
And technically, can you even be mad at someone if you were never really together?
