#376 - A Situationship! – Relationship Coaching (English)

Hi GuidoFox here! Wonderful that you will read this article ;)

I remember my short time with a woman from Istanbul were I dated with for some while. Afterwards, I regretted that I said goodbye to early (what happens me more).

She wasn’t relationship material for me & no rebound. The emotional connection was too high to call it a friends-with-benefits-formula (higher emotional investment). Later on, I understood that I missed out a good situationship and spending holiday together in Bali: a chill lean back relationship to ‘survive’ the single time.

The situationship is in my opinion a healthy form of a relationship due the experience to opening yourself up for later better fitting opportunities (you try at least). It’s a pre-romantic relationship to experience and ‘exercise’ to become a better partner. In comparison with a rebound, this one is much healthier and has longer durability. A rebound is mostly shaped from panic and easy try to fix/cover your old pains & wounds.

A short rebound as a ‘damping’ healing effect after your long-term relationship, could be nothing wrong with. It becomes worse if the toxicity from your long-term past relationship continues in the rebound and the rebound takes too long time – to come to yourself, to heal and to raise your consciousness.

The situationship could feel romantic or intimate, but have – in comparison with a real relationship – no clear intentions and commitments for future planning (family/children). It exists in a gray area between friendship and a serious relationship. In this relationship you are not likely to integrate into each other’s lives, to see family of your partner and/or friends.
