Get the Non-romantic situationship mug.A situationship is a romantic or sexual relationship that lacks clear labels or commitment. It’s more than a friendship but not quite a defined relationship. People in a situationship may share emotional intimacy, spend time together, and even act like a couple, but without the expectations or stability of a traditional relationship.
Situationships often arise when one or both people are unsure about commitment, want to keep things casual, or avoid defining the relationship. While they can work for some, they can also lead to confusion or frustration if one person wants more clarity or commitment than the other.
