In the beginning, a one-night stand is just that. A hook-up. But what happens when that "one-night stand" becomes a regular event? Can still fit
definition of hook-up at this point. Slowly, emotions get tangled up. You now have a situation. Particularly if the other
person you are in the situation with is living with his sort-of/common-
law/fake wife and has two children from previous relationships. Situations get messy, especially when you fall in love with this individual. You'
re spending more and more time together, it's been a few months, and there are
real emotions at stake. Your situation is no longer a situation and not quite a relationship. It's a situlationship. Hopefully, to eventually progress to a relationship.
