Love is complicated, and most people have awkward, unpleasant, or complex relationship experiences throughout their years in the dating field.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news? Just because somebody else did it doesn’t mean you have to follow in their footsteps.<\/span><\/p>\n

While most relationship types<\/a> contain life lessons of what you do and do not want from a future mate, some of these <\/span>relationships are complicated and can cause an irritating itch that is better left unscratched.<\/b><\/p>\n

It seems hopelessly confusing and makes us wonder why is love so complicated, why are relationships so complicated, and what is a complicated relationship?<\/span><\/p>\n

To help you understand the meaning of complicated relationships, here are 8 complicated relationships that you should try and avoid.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>1. Friends with benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is a complicated relationship that most people in college had a brilliant opinion about. “Hey!” They’ll say. “I like this guy, but I don’t want a relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s have consensual sex with no strings attached. What could go wrong?” The answer is everything!<\/span><\/p>\n

This ambiguous <\/span>physical relationship<\/span><\/a> is a curse to both parties. It seems super cool and casual, carrying on as friends while hooking up with no strings attached.<\/span><\/p>\n

But inevitably, someone is going to get feelings for the other and want something more. You give with no expectations and are basically someone’s plaything until something better comes along.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, <\/span>once one of you ends up in a new relationship, your friendship is 100% doomed.<\/b><\/p>\n

Even a <\/span>qualitative study<\/span><\/a> indicated that a majority of its participants were unwilling to partake in a complicated relationship such as ‘Friends with Benefits.’<\/span><\/p>\n
