Relationships are hard. They're becoming so hard that there's a new word for them: situationships! A new concept that doesn't quite cover the strictly superficial friends with something extra situation. A situationship is mixing the physical aspects of a relationship with the emotional, instead of being mostly just physical. It's creating a relationship that exists in a vacuum, it's intimate, vulnerable, but doesn't happen more than once a week usually. What a strange concept we've come up with in 2025. Among situationships, other aspects of modernity have created confusion around dating, such as how to split finances. 


The story below actually has nothing to do with situationships. It does, however, center around finances and work. I once dated a guy who really had terrible work ethic and was always broke. Never again will I go back to that sort of dynamic. The protagonist is a man whose girlfriend has unsteady work, therefore unsteady finances. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.
