I think about this a lot, how we constantly are reinventing terms for the same thing.
Can we talk about this for a minute?
A situationship is an undefined romantic relationship.
So we're spending time together, we're hooking up, but we don't have labels.
I think this is part of a larger conversation about how when you apply language to something, it sort of solidifies and becomes more concrete.
But people have been doing situationships for a very long time.

When it becomes harmful is when one person isn't expressing their needs or desires.
