Situationships are all the rage these days. That gray, in-between area is emotionally exhausting, yet everybody seems to enjoy the suffering. What is a situationship, a complicated relationship, or a friends-with-benefits situation anyway? And why are there so many different ways of saying, 'We're not together but actually we kind of are'? You hang out with the person, go on dates, have deep talks about life, share some vulnerable information with them etc, but NEVER share how you actually feel about them.

It's absurd and toxic, and also exhilarating in the worst way. It's a romantic relationship that lacks clear boundaries and commitment. Not quite a friendship, not quite a relationship… you have a boyfriend (or girlfriend) in the gray zone. Maybe you actually enjoy them, maybe you don't have time to build something, or maybe you're just waiting for the other person to come out and say what you're both thinking.

Either way, you're gonna relate hard to these complicated relationship memes so buckle up, ladies, and enjoy! For more, here is a woman who is convinced a man she never met owes her the world.
