#87: Situationships

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

What is a situationship? In a situationship, the other person is getting ALL of the benefits of a relationship, without actually having to commit to put in the work of a relationship. In this episode, we talk more about what a situationship is, how it differs from friends with benefits, and how to prevent situationships from happening now and in the future.
