A situationship sounds like a relationship waiting to happen. It's not necessarily horrible; it's the time needed to get to know someone before deciding to commit and declare exclusivity. If you think about it, every relationship begins as a situationship. We’ve all had them — even before there was a word for it. However, if you choose to stay in a situationship where your needs aren't being met, or you're chronically disappointed, or not being appreciated, then speak up and throw down the gauntlet, or get the hell out and move on. Either way, you retain your power.
