  I think it’s just to avoid accountability and emotional maturity in regards to someone else’s feelings. The perks of a relationship and the emotional intimacy without a commitment so when they leave or ghost or get with someone else, they “never owed you anything”.
context: What the hell is that term never heard of it >
  
  I heared it on reddit yesterday the first time in a german sub. >
  
  Huh I've never heard of it until this post >
  
  NOW YOU HEARED IT TWICE DEAL WITH IT!!! >
  
  😂 >
  
  Wrong social media for those >
  
  It's just the new "it's complicated."
  Just a term to describe a situation...ship >
  
  I find that often when people say "it's complicated", it's really not -- they just don't want to make the decision that they pretty obviously should make.
  (Of course sometimes it genuinely is complicated.) >
  
  I mean, it could also mean that one person is ready to be committed and the other isn't sure yet. >
  
  I wouldn't call that a complicated situation. In fact, you described that situation perfectly well in one sentence. >
  
  Who makes up these words? >
  
  Some rando and then it catches on or doesn’t. Millions of these neologisms happen everyday. Some stick >
  
  Situationship = all the perks and add ons of dating or a relationship but without the officially established or defined title 
  Or at least that’s what TikTok has told. Honestly I hate the term too and think it’s bullshit, but hey whatever people gotta do to find new ways to have issues in society I guess >
  
  So... a fuck buddy? >
  
  Thats how I label it >
  
  "Situationship" = nothing. >
  
  This is how I feel when people say "talking stage". Maybe I've just been out of the game too long, but what does that even mean? You don't have to be exclusive or even particularly committed, but are you dating or are you not? >
  
  "Talking stage" is just the modern term for "casually dating."
  Not exclusive, but not strangers. >
  
  Fair enough. It just strikes me as weird and doesn't make sense, since you're obviously 'talking' to your friends too, a distinction which the phrase 'casual dating' makes crystal clear. I wonder if it comes from the modern phenomenon of meeting a romantic partner online, who might live a long distance away, and talking to them for many weeks without actually meeting in person. >
  
  I think people say “situationship” to describe someone ELSES struggling relationship. I’ve never heard the term be used to describe one’s own relationship.
