Get the open relationship mug.A relationship status somewhere between open and exclusive, meaning that some aspects are exclusive (e.g. holding hands, kissing, or sex) whereas others - such as meeting new people, flirting, or interacting on dating websites - are not. The exclusive aspects are defined for the particular relationship, with the idea behind a semi-exclusivity being that both people are in a trusting situation where neither feels like their emotional needs are not met.
Matt: If you are not ready for an exclusive relationship, but want more commitment than an open relationship, then why don't we try a semi-exclusive relationship...
Gina: A what!! Semi-exclusive relationship!? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!
Matt: Oh, really?! It's when some things are exclusive, but others aren't - it's a way to be exclusive where it counts without making the other person feel restricted if they feel a need to spend time with other people .... in some semi-exclusive relationships all the bases are exclusive, so people can meet new people for non-physical things that look like dates, but they are just meeting new people to talk - in others people can meet others and kiss but certain bases like sex are off limits. It just depends on what is exclusive. If that's something you prefer to a fully open or completely closed relationship, then we need to talk about what's important to each of us in maintaining our freedoms and be honest about the things we each need to be open about and those we want to be exclusive about.

Get the Textual relationship mug.The act of hacking into one's relationship for personal benefit. Usually caused by the hacker falling in love with a member of the relationship, thus resulting in a hack. The hacker would devote entire life and is willing to sacrifice anything to fuck up the relationship. They will first try to get victims alone so that their partner has no influence. Those are some early symptoms. Depending on the specific strength of the relationship, it may be destroyed.
Another reason a relationship would be hacked is the fact that the hacker was once or is currently friends with a member of the relationship and feels like they are losing attention. Usually, the hacker in this case would remind the victim of "old times" or "good times" before their relationship had started, in a desperate attempt to actually pull the victim from his or her lover.
This is a common issue that must be handled with care. Ignore the stupid, do whats right.
