If you’ve ever had to answer the question, “So… what are you guys?” and your response is “It’s complicated”, you might actually be in a situationship.
The term “situationship” has been floating around the internet for a while, but it’s currently having a real moment on Nigerian Twitter.
What Are People Saying?
Not everyone is sold on the idea of situationships. For many Nigerians, they shouldn’t even exist at all. They argue that if two people are doing everything couples do, the relationship deserves a label. Anything else is just unnecessary confusion.
Others see it differently. They argue that situationships aren’t inherently bad. As long as both people understand the arrangement and are honest about what they want, there’s nothing wrong with keeping things casual.
So, Which Side Is Winning?
If the reactions are anything to go by, the anti-situationship camp is much louder. Most people aren’t criticizing casual dating itself. They’re criticizing the uncertainty that often comes with it. But where do you stand? Are situationships harmless as long as everyone is on the same page, or should every relationship ideally come with a label? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
