Author's Note: Situationships can be hard to explain. They are not relationships, but they are far from casual. There is a tsunami of feelings and doubts folded into each one. My goal in writing this was to capture and validate that experience. For all the situationship survivors reading this, it may not be a relationship, but it was very much real, and I hope you feel seen in these pages.
