Situationships

Have you ever gotten involved with a man or woman and looked up and the two of you were living together, splitting bills, sharing friends and showing up together for holidays like you were really in a happy, healthy and committed relationship?

Only the true narrative was that one day you two met, a few weeks later you had the best sex ever, and the next thing you knew you were together 3 or 4 years! Ever just sit back and ask yourself, how did I end up here? I mean I'm not really happy. We don't have much in common. In fact, we have nothing in common at all outside of sex and shared responsibility.

Situationships are so easy to come by. There are tons of men and women involved with each other for all the wrong but right reasons. Wrong because they often leave you feeling empty and unhappy. Right because in the moment, they just feel so damn good.

Situationships are not like relationships because they aren't really about getting to know and love the person you're involved with. They are more so about convenience. I mean of course it's nice to be able to roll over and get it in real quick before work. It's also nice to have somebody to split the bills with. Oh and who wants to have to find a date for different events when you already have someone available to you?

Believe it or not but these situationships can even lead to marriage. It's true! Not everyone is marrying for love and that's all good too. You have to do what works for you.

But if you find yourself in a situationship and that's not what you really want, then there is no time like the present to walk away. If you want more than convenience, by all means have more. Real relationships do exist and true happiness is available to all of us. We just have to be patient and wise.

A wise woman once said "Go be great and live your best life ever". Her life was lit!
