The term situationship, or “underrelationship,” can be deciphered as a romantic relationship that is full of uncertainty, something between friendship and love.

The reason for the emergence of this type of relationship, according to sexologist and psychosomatologist Vera Vetkina, lies in the lack of need for certainty in people.

They can be caused by fear of commitment, lack of self-confidence, inability to choose one partner out of two, etc.

Both women and men can find themselves in this situation.

The following signs will help you understand that you are in a “bad relationship”.

You and your partner don't have a clear plan for when you'll meet - you don't know when you'll see each other or even hear from each other next.

You should also be wary if you do not indicate the status of your relationship and cannot say whether you are in a couple or not, dating or not.

Partners who are in a “non-relationship” do not have long-term plans – the topic of a shared future is avoided or ignored.

Finally, a conclusion about situationship can also be made when partners have no obligations to each other – both the guy and the girl can be in the same “under-relationships” with other people, flirting and communicating.

Earlier, BelNovosti explained how to understand that a man is texting other women.
