So ... sexual slavery?
I'm having a hard time coming up with another situation that fits that description.
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
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.
maybe the fact the situationship isn't clarified on purpose is what makes it non-ethical
Non-ethical is not "as opposed to unethical", I'm sure. Rather, it's a word play on enm, ethical non-monogamy.
That's how I read it, anyhow. I'm not the author.
Same… I’m not the author either
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.
Doesn't sound very monogamous.
Ooh I read that wrong lol. I read it as unethical non monogamous 😅
all monogamous relationships are non-ethical
