For better or for worse, we’ve all been in a "situationship" before. You know what we’re talking about. Things are too complex to be casual, but they’re not clear enough to be a true relationship. And because we’re so emotionally attached, we have a hard time saying, “Listen, if we can’t define this relationship maybe we should take a few steps back.” We don’t want to say this because it might ultimately cost us whatever this, umm, is.

But that’s what settling for a "situationship" is. It’s like being on the greatest road trip while realizing, halfway through, that driving makes you motion sick — you don’t know whether to suffer through it or just stop.

Unfortunately, some of us are so far into these kinds of emotional roller coaster rides that we need more details, just to be sure if we’re trippin’ or not. 

If that’s you, it’s your lucky day. We're going to share with you some pretty telling signs, that we've experienced, that'll help you figure out whether or not you're in a "situationship."

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
