Quiz: Should I End My Situationship?

Navigating a situationship can feel like you're stuck in limbo. It’s not quite a full-blown relationship, but it’s also more than just a casual fling. You might enjoy spending time with the person, but there’s no clear commitment or roadmap for where things are heading. If you’re feeling confused or uncertain, you’re not alone. Many people find themselves in these grey areas, unsure whether to move forward, stick it out, or call it quits.

To help you sort through your feelings and gain some clarity, we’ve created a quiz to help you decide whether it’s time to end your situationship. Grab a pen and paper, or just think through the questions—honestly answering them might give you the perspective you need.

Your Results:

• Mostly A’s: You might be content with the current dynamic and are okay with the uncertainty that comes with a situationship. As long as both of you are on the same page, and no one is emotionally harmed, this might be the right situation for you—for now.
• Mostly B’s: You’re somewhere in the middle. There’s a mix of positive moments and confusion. It’s time to have a conversation with your partner about expectations and where you both see this going.
• Mostly C’s: You’re feeling frustrated and unclear about your role in this situationship. It might be time to have a serious talk and figure out if this is worth continuing or if you’re better off parting ways for your emotional well-being.
• Mostly D’s: It’s likely that your situationship is causing more harm than good. If you’re feeling drained or anxious, it may be time to consider ending it and prioritizing your emotional health.
  
  

So, should you end your situationship?

The quiz is a helpful tool, but the answer ultimately comes down to how you feel. If this dynamic is no longer serving you, or if it’s leaving you emotionally exhausted and uncertain about your future, it might be time to move on. You deserve clarity, respect, and emotional fulfillment—don’t settle for something that’s holding you back from the relationship or happiness you truly want.

If you feel unsure, talking to a trusted friend or therapist can also offer valuable perspective. Remember: You deserve to be with someone who meets your emotional needs, values your time, and wants the same kind of future you do.
