situationship
/ˌsɪtʃuˈeɪʃnʃɪp/
EN
A romantic or sexual relationship that lacks formal commitment, clear boundaries, or official status, often lingering in an ambiguous, undefined middle ground.
They’ve been seeing each other for six months, but won’t label their connection—they’re just in a situationship right now.
Etymology
This word is a portmanteau of the noun "situation" and the relationship suffix "-ship", coined in the early 21st century to describe the growing trend of uncommitted romantic partnerships.
