We’ve all heard the term “situationship” all the time over the past few years, but what exactly does it mean? We already have “friends with benefits” and even “f-buddies”, so there’s no need for a new term for that. And hey, it’s okay to date someone casually without rushing into commitment, too…so that’s certainly not it, either.
Well, as it turns out there’s a pretty clear differentiator between a true “situationship” and any other kind of relationship with a woman. My first-time guest, clinical psychologist and sex therapist Dr. Karen Stewart, not only describes the “situation” clearly, she’s all about the discussion regarding the good, the bad and the ugly going on there.
What is “girlfriend mode”, and what does it have to do with all of this? How is a climate of fear directly associated with the modern-day proliferation of situationships? What are the disastrous ways men misunderstand a woman’s signals that she’s indeed just up for something casual, not committed or “relationshippy”?
What are the two apparently opposite reasons why we fall into situationships? How does having sex change everything, at least usually? How can something between you and a woman start out as a situationship and then evolve into something else, or vice-versa?
How can we (or women) unwittingly end up in a situationship when we clearly wanted a committed relationship? And overall, what is the lens women view such arrangements through compared to us as men, and how can we navigate that?
