Absolutely, but Im a Leo rising and I stand by that statement.
The worst part is that situationships are now the norm.
And were all becoming emotionally-damaged, anxious messes as a result.

Essentially, a situationship provides the building blocks of a relationship (i.e.
dates, sex, emotional support, etc.)
And without labels, boundaries and expectations in a situationship are murky at best and absent at worst.
Situationships are more often than not a recipe for hurt feelings for either one or both parties.
Your situationship isnotcommitted to you.
Even if youve agreed to be exclusive, exclusivity without a label doesnt mean much of anything.
Your situationship isnotcommitted to you until they explicitly say they are and refer to you as their partner.
They are under no obligation to stay loyal to you or prioritize you.
And yeah, theyre probably still on dating apps.
If a casual arrangement like that works for you, great.
But more often than not…

One person usually ends up wanting more.
Situationships can keep us from finding the real thing.
This is because once a dynamic (i.e.
casual) is set, it is often very difficult to change.
Situationships are messing with our collective conception of healthy relationships.
Situationships are totally screwing with our generations concept of healthy relationships because situationships are in no way healthy.
And yet, situationships are everywhere and to be expected at some point in your dating journey.
Essentially, were normalizing stringing one another along and pretending that we dont want a relationship when we do.
On that note…

Situationships make us afraid to ask for more.
Situationships are making us completely terrified of admitting we want more and then asking for it.
Situationships make us accept less than we deserve.
Because were afraid to ask for more from a situationship, we end up accepting less than we deserve.
(Psst…its not.)
You cant make them commit to you if they dont want to commit to you.
In other words, if someone says they dont want a relationship,pleasebelieve them.
