Anwar White says 98% of situationships don't become real relationships because one person gets all the benefits without commitment. He recommends setting a three-month deadline to decide in or out, and establishing clear boundaries from the start.

DJ said, can you turn a situationship into a relationship?
It's very rare. I would. I'm never an absolute person. Right.
Most of the time. When I say most of the time, I'm saying like 98% of the time. No, you cannot. There is no incentive for a man to want to get into a relationship with someone that he's in a situationship with.
Because it means it's more responsibility for nothing in return for him. If you're giving him everything that he wants without. Without him having to be emotionally responsible for you, why would he take that deal? It's like you saying, I'm at my job right now, but I'm going to take on another job with the same pay.
No person would do that.
They. And this is why you do not want to be in a situationship. That's why I'm saying three months in or out.
Yeah. And if you can't be in, you got to be out.
A lot of us are comfortable with situationships because many of us have had situationships with our parents. And that's the situationship you have to heal. That's the situationship that you want to probably make into a relationship or create. No, like, have no connection with.
Yeah. Situationships are boundary violations. And it lets me, every time I see that, every time I hear situationship or off and on, I know that there's boundary work to be done.
And if you need help with that, definitely book a call with me. Would love to help you with that, honey. I'm a boundary bitch and I love it. Bitch in the most powerful meaning of the word. I'll give everybody a boundary, honey. And I. Girl.
Honey, no shade girl for the white girls in here. But I'd be giving the white girls boundaries galore, honey.
And I let them know that they trigger me. And I let them know that they hurt my feelings. And I let them know that I am. You know, they make. I'm feeling uncomfortable with them and what they've said. Give them all of that grow boundaries.
