A situationship has all the emotional architecture of a relationship — the intimacy, the expectation, the weight of that person's presence and absence — without the definition that would make your feelings legible to anyone, including yourself. You can't say you're heartbroken. Nothing officially existed.

Anonymous thoughts about situationships posted here are from people in the middle of this or recovering from the ending of something that technically wasn't. The honest account of caring about a thing with no name.
