SITUATIONSHIPS.

Yes I know it is not a real word; but with its rate of occurrence I think Oxford Dictionary’s next edition should seriously consider its insertion.

What is it? A “Situationship” is basically an undefined relationship.

“Let’s not spoil what we have with labels” – situationship.

“Let’s just have a good time and see where this goes” – situationship.

“What are we now?” “We are mere pencils in the hands of the Creator” – SITUATIONSHIP.

Sound familiar? This generation has more and more people who are unwilling to commit, who want to remain “baby boys/baby girls” for as long as possible; and so end up in situationships. They are not in a relationship but their emotions are. Don’t deceive yourself.

Even within the church situationships occur. You’re not sure if the person you are seeing is the “One” so rather than putting a label you get into a situationship – if the person is right you can upgrade to a relationship and if not you can pretend nothing happened. Win-win right? Wrong.

The human alchemy of emotions doesn’t work that way. It is okay to get it wrong sometimes; you learn and move on with new experiences that you can share with those coming up after you.

So, if you’re in a situationship today…you know what to do.
