The situationship

A situationship is the particular purgatory of sustained ambiguity, where you remain invested in someone who has not chosen you, where hope and self-respect wage a quiet war. Recognizing it for what it is—a choice you're making, often to avoid the risk of clearer rejection—is the first step toward reclaiming your own agency.
