Okay, I'm hoping someone here can help me understand this better but I want to know what's the difference between friends with benefits and Situation ship because even though I'm in a knock-and-wood healthy and happy relationship with someone I just want to better understand the difference here because to me they're mostly the same Except that friends with benefits has a label while situation does not But yeah, we'll love to hear your perspective on this and get a better understanding on what these two different terms mean.

Friends with benefits is just casual sex. I don't really know why the word friends is in there Because typically they're not friends. They're just sexual partners And I guess friends with benefits sounds better than casual sex partners whereas with situations ships Someone usually thinks that they're in a relationship. They're like performing relationship activities, I guess But they're not actually in a relationship and somebody gets hurt in the ends if not both of them usually just one

Also, situations don't have to involve sex, but friends with benefits relationships do.

You know, you're actually right that someone in a situation would think that they're in a romantic relationship because one out of the two obviously wants it to progress. and I've been there done that. I will say that right now. So I appreciate you sharing this.

Also, I didn't think that situationships could not have sex because in my head I was like, oh, there definitely has to be like sexual acts involved, But I didn't think of it not having that. Good point.

Yeah, the thing about situations is that they're not sought out. Or maybe they are now, I don't know, but usually you find out that you were in a situation ship in hindsight or when your air quotes partner is with someone else and you find them and you're like, what the hell? And they correctly let you know that you guys never decided to be in a relationship. So hopefully that's a lesson learned, but we know for a lot of people, they're gonna have to learn that less than a good 30-40 times.

So this is where having boundaries comes into play and knowing that boundaries are about you and what you do so if you don't want to find yourself in a situation ship, then it is wise to understand the difference between Not being in a relationship and being in a relationship things that you doing You're not in a relationship and things that you do when you're in a relationship and you don't do the things that are for relationships unless it has been decided that you're actually in a relationship.

Pretty much friends of benefits are sexual buddies who know their space but situationships are not clear and understanding no clear communication and that's where emotions get mixy.

I really appreciate that you use the phrase clear communication because that is something that society often lacks. And what one person was saying in this thread was that friends with benefits is a type of situation ship. I never viewed it like that, but I get it. And another person on here was saying that friends with benefits is platonic. It's not a romance versus a situation ship being really unclear and trying to figure out the ground on that. on that. So yeah, really appreciate you sharing that.

I think Friends With Benefit is a type of situation shop.

Oh yeah, that's also very fair. You know someone else was saying on here that Friends with Benefits is that there's no romance out of it, regardless. And the situation is like, you're trying to figure out where things are going, which I get. So yeah, but what you were saying is Friends with Benefits it's being a type of situation ship. Now that I didn't think of, so great take.

Like, situation shit, but you trying to figure some shit out, you feel me? Like, you really trying to work with this person by the same time you're doing your own thing. Now, friends with benefits, that's just a friend. Like, you know, you're not doing no with that friend. Now, you are doing something with that friend, but you know, past that song is nothing, you feel me? The first benefit is nothing.

That is such an interesting take and I never really thought of it that way because again, I'm in a relationship. I'm not dealing with this stuff, but some of my friends are after a long term relationship or, you know, they've just never had a relationship. So this is what they do know. Very, very interesting take and I appreciate you sharing your two cents. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Well friends with benefits is definitely just like a friendship but you have some sexual intercourse and a Situationship is when things are very complicated you both have the feelings for one another but something is holding you back from being together so

For the most part, I definitely agree with you. Thank you for sharing your answer. I think though with situationships, sometimes I feel like it's one person, not both of the people in the relationship that feels that way because I have seen one other person being like, oh, I can't commit because of work, school, this or that. And it's just like deep down inside, they just don't want to hurt that person's feelings or maybe they themselves don't want to be hurt. You just never know.
