A situationship is a relationship that isn’t formally defined as one between two committed partners, even though they are sleeping with each other and sometimes going out on dates.

Some people find themselves in a situationship inadvertently.

For instance, you find a guy attractive and go out on a few dates that result in physical intimacy.

Once the physical intimacy occurs, the dates suddenly stop occurring as frequently as they once were.

The supposed courtship transitions into a relationship that is primarily centered on sleeping with each other and the occasional date.

At this juncture, it doesn’t feel like you are being traditionally courted anymore, and the next thing you know, you are stuck in a situationship.

Some women go into situationships with their eyes wide open, knowing full well that the man is not known to be the relationship type.

Others are unaware and are strung along by the man who is giving them the impression that he is seeking a committed relationship when he realistically isn’t.

Whether you got into a situationship knowingly or unknowingly, you will most likely end up at the same place where you become emotionally invested in a guy who is still very much about maintaining a situationship.

Whether a woman gets into a situationship knowingly or unknowingly, she almost always finds herself in a position where she becomes emotionally attached to the guy and wants something more serious than a situationship with him.

To get out of it, you have to absolutely acknowledge that there is no changing his mind.

He came into this situationship with an express desire to have a relationship without labels, boundaries, or commitments.

This is the reality.

A trap so many women fall into is in thinking that in continuing to sleep with him, have phone sex, exchange nude pics, and hang out at his place or theirs, he will come to fall for her.

He won’t.

He has already categorized you as a woman he only sees as someone he has casual relationships with.

Once a guy categorizes you, it’s next to impossible to change his mind.

When a woman decides to keep on with the situationship, sometimes going out of her way to do favors for him and help him out with chores, it only leads her to a more hapless path.

You become more emotionally invested in him because you are putting out all of this effort to accommodate his needs, which makes you that much more desperate to get him to take you seriously and commit to you.

Meanwhile, he gets to reap the benefits of all this effort, sees you as a tool he gets to take advantage of, and never respects you or values you as a consequence.

Getting out of a situationship requires that you stop lying to yourself about changing his mind through satisfying his needs and going above and beyond.

Rather, you should look at the time you have had with him in this situationship as something temporary that had no promise of a future.

With this realization and acceptance, you must cut him completely off from your life.

That means you aren’t dropping everything and going over to his place or having him come over to yours to sleep with him and keep him company at his behest anymore.

You aren’t sending texts, nude pics, having phone sex, or watching his social media activity or giving him access to yours.

He is blocked from your social media.

By cutting him off completely, as difficult as this is, you won’t be exposed to the constant temptation to engage with him.

Occupy your time with new hobbies, interests, and activities.

This will keep you busy so that you aren’t so consumed with missing him and the routine of talking to, hanging out, and sleeping with him.

By sticking with this, within a fairly short period of time, you will soon realize that you aren’t missing him as much.

Your mind and body have become acclimated to no longer having him in your life.

Soon after this, you get over him and the situationship entirely.
