Competitive relationship

A competitive relationship is a type of romantic or close relationship where both partners engage in lighthearted, playful competition—often to show who is more affectionate, attentive, or caring. The competition is healthy and fun, strengthening the bond between them rather than causing conflict. The intent behind each action is love, not rivalry.

Competitive relationship means if one partner texts "Good morning ," the other might respond with "Gooood moooorningggg 🥰🥰" to show even more enthusiasm and affection, playfully "outdoing" the first greeting.

Plutonic Relationship

A romantic gray area where you’re more than friends but not officially dating. Named after Pluto’s “almost a planet” status — close enough to count, but never quite official.

First coined by author Deepti Jethani in 2025.

We hang out every weekend, text all day, and even met each other’s families, but he says we’re not dating. I guess we’re in a Plutonic Relationship.

abusive para-social relationship

When you're manipulated by a content creator into thinking they're a good person but then you find out they're like a sex perfect or wife beating psycho, all the while you defended them without realizing they were taking advantage of you. Until they finally get exposed/canceled and your friend finally rescues you from said para-social relationship and you finally stop following them after all these years.

Nate - Man i used to watch Destiny all the time, but ever since the minor sexting and revenge porn I've kinda stopped following.
Kyra - really? you're finally getting out of that abusive para-social relationship?

Dysfunctional relationship

A relationship in one or more people recognizes there is a problem yet simultaneously are in denial at it. This is more common occurrence in heterosexual relationship with a kid/s involved. Sometimes the chick is not yet prego in these relationship.

Why this happen because peeps don't like them self , they afriad they are not wanted , they want to look good and whole bunch of other things. If kids involved , then there is fear of a broken family or they be a bad parent.

A Whole bunch of stuff involved in these relationships. People can be nice and those nice things can be screwed up. Dysfunctional is not just yelling and hitting. It comes to you when someone is nice to you to get what they want .It comes off looking like normal things.

Sadly divorce or breaks up help show the problems sometimes.

GUY : Bro I just realized I have a Dysfunctional relationship .

Relationship Dysmorphia

A condition where someone becomes hyper-focused on minor flaws or negative aspects of their romantic relationship, causing them to lose sight of the overall beauty, strength, and positivity of the connection. This distorted perspective often leads to unnecessary dissatisfaction, conflict, or even a breakup. The most effective remedy is cultivating gratitude and consciously appreciating the positive elements of the partnership.

"They were genuinely happy together, but relationship dysmorphia set in, and suddenly all they saw were problems rather than the deep love they shared."
