I got married twice in my 20s. Now I’m in love with my midlife situationship
Bored, lonely and emerging from lockdown, a less-traditional relationship was just what I was looking for
TL;DR
- The author and her partner met in 2020 through a dating app and discovered mutual connections.
- Their relationship evolved gradually over several outings, leading to a "situationship" rather than a full-blown, interdependent relationship.
- They maintain separate residences and finances, describing their partnership as "committed companions" rather than traditional partners.
- The author has been married twice before and is now content with a less traditional relationship structure.
- This arrangement allows for individual pursuits while still sharing significant life events like New Year's Eve and birthdays.
