Trapped in a Situationship? Dating Coach Reveals 3 Ways to Break Free—‘Don’t Gaslight Yourself’

It starts with daily texts, late-night calls, and emotional closeness but no clear label. Situationships can leave you feeling confused and emotionally exhausted. You're not officially dating, but you're definitely more than just friends. If you've found yourself stuck in that grey area, you're not alone. Dating coach Sabrina Zohar shared in her May 23 post three tips to get over a situationship.

"Situationships aren't 'not that deep', they're often the most confusing, obsessive, and emotionally draining experiences we go through. You never had clarity. You never had closure. But you felt everything and that's what makes it so hard to walk away," Sabrina wrote in the caption. Click here to see her video.

1. Accept the reality for what it was

"I'm gonna need you to accept the situation for what it was. No, they are not the love of your life. They were somebody who breadcrumbed you and gave you just enough to keep you on the hook but not enough to satisfy your needs, and you can try to convince everybody that they are the one," says Sabrina.

Sabrina emphasises that confusing dynamics can lead to emotional exhaustion.

She continues, "Quit gaslighting yourself into thinking that this is something greater than it was." It's OK if this individual wasn't accessible, wasn't providing you what you wanted, or if you weren't pushing yourself and communicating in the ways you should. We'll take that.

2. Don't treat them like gods

She also advises people to let go of their idealized fantasies: "I need you to take the shine off of them." It was charming if you saw their Instagram and you saw they went to Paris, and I'm sure we've all done that. Maybe you could go to Paris. However, this doesn't imply that this is the person you should be with or the love of your life, even if you have a great time in bed or at dinner. We also need to examine the narrative you have built about someone and the pedestal upon which you are placing this individual if you are so obsessed with them, even if they don't deserve to be there.

3. Begin to prioritize yourself

Sabrina emphasises the importance of treating yourself with compassion.

Finally, Sabrina advises being kind to oneself. "I need you to begin treating yourself with greater kindness and grace and allowing yourself to experience your feelings," she stated. "Most of the time, we are not fixated on them, but rather on this narrative that was created because they didn't want us."

Sabrina ends with a strong reminder: "So I need you to start choosing yourself and stop waiting for them to do that."
