Three reasons why you should leave your situationship

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Valdosta chapter.

Girl, don’t do this again. Situationships can be the hardest part of dating. Along with stressing about school, work, and your health, here you are worrying about a whole other person and their feelings. Well, it is time for that to come to an end. No one has time for beating around the bush and mixed signals. During this time of our lives, we need confirmation, not confusion. So here are three reasons why you need to dump that situationship and boss up!

 

#1: Your mind needs peace!

Mental health is the biggest thing we need to focus on. Your mind is clouded with all these thoughts and then on top of that, you have to focus on if he likes you and if you are both on the same page. Focusing on important things like test and quizzes are hard when you are constantly waiting for a text or facetime. From experience (and terrible test history) I know firsthand about focusing on the wrong things. When the relationship is moving forward you don’t have to worry about how they feel (or don’t feel) while taking a test, having time to yourself or anytime. They’ll give you peace of mind and there will be nothing to worry about. 

#2: You need to reclaim your time

Personally, one pet peeve that I have is when people waste my time. As young adults, there are so many things that need to be done during the day. So, we don’t have time for arguments or declined phone calls. Between work, school, self-care, pet care, and other important responsibilities, no one has time to have their time wasted. A two-hour phone call of you begging the other person to tell you how they feel could have easily been a two-hour study session with your friends. Reclaim your time in 2019 sis, no one has time for foolery.  

 

#3: Happiness is key

Do me a favor and look back through that message thread of your last situationship conversation. Be honest, did they make you laugh or smile once? No. They didn’t. Having happiness in your life is just as necessary as taking vitamins every day and drinking water, YOU NEED IT. When you have truly obtained happiness you’ll know it. Your smile will be brighter, skin will be glowing, and you’ll be living on cloud 9. Does that person on the other side of the phone screen do that for you? Yeah, a cute little joke here and there makes u giggle but until they spend their whole day trying to figure out how to bring happiness into your life, they ain’t for you. So go ahead and cut that deadweight off and be happy without them.

There you have it! If you still need more reasons to leave that situationship just remember this, always look out for yourself no matter the circumstance. Put youself first for the sake of your peace, time, and happiness ;).

Good Luck!
