Dear Brandon,

People who tend to gravitate towards situationships are those who want the emotional connection and intimacy with a partner in a compartmentalized way. They may have emotional presence and connection in person, but when apart, they also have freedom outside of a committed relationship. This may be due to a lack of willingness for one or both people to define the relationship or lack of commitment towards each other. People in situationships want to keep their options open thinking there's always someone better around the corner. If both people are on the same page regarding the situationship, then it's fine. But it sometimes leaves the person who wants more with declining self esteem having to deal with feelings of inadequacy. Since I'm the one who wants more, and I do feel insecure and fearful of you being with someone else, maybe you can help me with my feelings of inadequacy by being completely honest with about your feelings towards me. If you don't want to be monogamous with me, please just admit that you're unable and let me go. I'm sure you can find another situationship to replace ours. There's nothing more I want from you than your honesty with me and to not get more hurt than I am already.
