What to Do When You’re in a Situationship — Navigating the Space Between Wanting and Waiting

Being in a situationship is a strange emotional limbo. It’s not a relationship, but it’s not casual. It’s intimate, but not defined. You’re close, but never secure. You keep telling people you’re “seeing someone,” even though you can’t explain what exactly you’re seeing. You’re not being lied to, yet you never quite know the truth. You feel single in public, attached in private, confident one day, disposable the next. This is the quiet ache of a situationship: loving someone with no guarantee they’ll love you with both feet on the ground.

He Is Hot and Cold — The Emotional Whiplash That Makes You Question Yourself More Than Him

When someone says “he is hot and cold,” they’re not describing mystery—they’re describing instability.

You replay conversations, over-analyze silence, and rationalize behavior you would tell your friends to run from.

Am I in a Codependent Relationship? — The Quiz That Starts With What You Already Know but Haven’t Admitted

Most people don’t Google “Am I in a codependent relationship?” because they want a test—they want permission. Permission to name the anxiety in their chest when their partner is upset. Permission to acknowledge the knot in their stomach when the relationship feels off. Permission to admit they bend themselves into versions they barely recognize. This quiz is not a checklist. It’s a mirror. One built from the moments you’ve already lived: apologizing even when you’re not wrong, shrinking yourself to keep the peace, or feeling like the relationship will collapse if you stop managing both sides of it. Codependency doesn’t announce itself. It reveals itself in the ways you slowly disappear.
