    non-ethical monogamous situationship

    So … sexual slavery?

    I’m having a hard time coming up with another situation that fits that description.

      It does say non-ethical instead of unethical, whatever that means.

      Also doesn’t clarify what part of the situationship is un/non-ethical, so maybe it’s just about undisclosed political campaign contributions or smth

        Non-ethical as in, ethics doesn’t apply? Like a situation-ship with 27 cubic feet of drywall.

        Non-ethical could mean without ethics not in violation of ethics?

        I guess that would mean the relationship has not or could not be defined by petty human rules of conduct. Like telling a supernova or a black hole to clean up it’s mess.

      It’s a piss take of the ethical non-monogamy apps.

      But if we’re being a bit real - nonconsentual arranged marriages, 50 year age gaps, marriage for money, marriage for convenience etc etc would fit the bill

      Prob like Ashley Madison or smth that’s focused on married people finding people to cheat with.

        “situationships” I think is the key operator. Where there’s probably a power dynamic, one person is being led on/getting played, and the other person is the player.
