What makes situationship breakups so hard?
The outlet’s go-to dating coach, Neely Steinburg, explained mosting as she’s seen it in dating.

What’s the most confusing part of a dissolving situationship?
She explained that in these relationships “you’re constantly in-between.
There is no container, and there are no rules.”

And common respect should be, but isn’t always, a given.
This feeling of possibility can be addicting, according toByrdie.
And when the unavailable party begins pulling away, you might experience withdrawal-like feelings.
