Dabaco: You know, even a situationship, that's a relationship. 



Text on screen reads: ‘Dabaco Doldissen, psychotherapist, @sunset_psychotherapy’


Dabaco: ‘It's not a relationship unless you define it, even if you're doing relationship things.’ Everything is a relationship. Even though, you know, some f-boys and f-girls and f-theys might want to squirm away from the idea that it's a relationship, it is. Like, let's call the spade a spade.

Rashida: Stepping away from labelling it, for some people,  may feel like they don't have to take as much responsibility then with the person that they're relating to, and that person's emotions and, you know, wellbeing, essentially, in you being in relation to them. You’re reaping all the benefits and getting the advantage of a relational dynamic but then claiming ‘Oh nup, no label on it so it's all right.’



Dabaco: All take, no give. 



Rashida: Nope



Dabaco: That's not a healthy dynamic.



 

Rashida: Add that in. *laughs*
