Today's episode wraps up our three-part series on situationships.
(And if you haven’t heard the first two yet, I highly recommend you give them a listen first.)

Now that you know what a situationship is, let’s talk about what happens when you realize… you’re actually in one. In this final chapter, we’ll explore your options—whether you choose to stay, redefine the relationship, or walk away.
