Situationship…what does this mean

33 replies

Holibobby · 23/11/2022 21:47

Been in a situationship for a couple of months now, tonight for the first time I’ve been quite off with him and he sensed it and asked what’s wrong, so I thought I’m going to be honest. I said it’s good when we’re together but the next day you go completely cold. This message will have come completely out the blue for him.

I need help decoding his message which read:

I really don’t mean to be hot and cold. I’m so sorry it’s come across like that. Something did make me have a moment of realisation a couple of weeks ago where I felt like I was kind of diving into another relationship but it hasn’t made me not want to see you and a definitely didn’t ever mean to be shut off with you. x

I've just got a feeling he will ignore the last message that I sent him, all day and then ring later and chat about his day and avoid getting into that conversation.

I feel like if it was just all sex , I would know he was using me. But wanting to spend most weekends, and ringing me through the day, having some deep chats, makes it all the more confusing.

Yes, it's not just sex. He obviously likes you, but he's reserving his right to turn around tomorrow and say 'this isn't a relationship' whilst simultaneously doing all of the things people in relationships do - and letting you build up an emotional bond with him - for as long as it suits him to do that.

Arrange to see him and then discuss it face to face

OP, is this you as well?

If so, you have posted numerous threads about this man and repeatedly been given advice. What are you getting out of constantly posting these threads?

Are you just going to ignore this comment?

@Priminister yeah that was me posting

So what advice are you looking for that you've not already heard? It's your choice whether to be in this situation or not but if you choose to stay, I just don't see the point of constantly asking people to analyse his every word and action?

And why keep changing your name to post about the same topic/situation?
