relationship stray

A guy who starts living at their girlfriend's home by being there so often that it just sort of happens without the appropriate conversation. A boyfriend who gives up on his personal life to become a part of his girlfriend's personal life.

Hey, are you and Eric living together? No, he is just a relationship stray.
Don't you feel awkward always staying at her place like a relationship stray? No, she has a beautiful home and food, I can save a lot of money this way.

Fauxtonic relationship

Where one party believes the interaction is platonic, while the other covets more.

Although Jane believes that she and John are just really good friends, it's actually a fauxtonic relationship, as John appears to be waiting for her to see him as boyfriend material.

jagged relationship

an up-and-down, on-and-off again type of relationship

if you are in a jagged relationship, especially if you are the dominated party, you should be asking yourself whether or not that particular relationship is right, or maybe even harmful, for you.

authentic relationship

Its five key characteristics:

- trusting morally ambiguous people
- refraining yourself from changing people who clearly urgently need to be fixed; loving people for the mess they are
- having transparent communications with liars and judges
- admitting your real delusional expectations to resentful people not hired for that job
- weather storms with the wimpiest sailors

Something very hard to find on Tinder.

Jane: What are you doing?
John : I'm shopping for an authentic relationship online.
Jane: Gosh... better look for a needle in a haystack!
