#OnTheGo A situationship can be defined as a partnership between two people in which both individuals do not possess a title such as boyfriend or girlfriend. In some cases, each member in the partnership is not always aware that they are in this situation. A situationship can be made unaware to someone when you do not define what you are to one another early on, or what you are looking for. On the other hand, a relationship is a partnership between two people in which both individuals possess a title such as boyfriend or girlfriend. In most cases both individuals are aware of their partnership. Relationships tend to be more serious and more emotionally invested.
SITUATIONSHIPS VS. RELATIONSHIPS Relationships and situationships have their pros, and their cons. Choosing which one is best for you is just a matter of your own wants and needs... BY RIANNA GENUS-DIBIASE
Both a relationship and a situationship can be beneficial, if you know what you want. But heed some disclaimers! The good thing about a situationship is you get all the fun parts of a relationship minus the emotional obligations, and responsibilities. On the flip side, people catch feelings and end up with a situationship gone sour. This happens when someone catches feelings while the other person is perfectly content with keeping things how they are. A little having your cake and eating it too. It is not to say you cannot be in a situationship, but tread lightly because feelings can and most likely, will be hurt. At the end of the day, the ultimate goal should be a relationship. They’re the more genuine, stable and meaningful bond that you just won’t get from a situationship, seasonal boo thang. When you believe you are ready to fully emotionally available and willing to be someone’s confidant (#NoChildishGames), you will know that a relationship is the right choice for you. In the meantime, #nojudgment.
