How do we deal with an unlabelled relationship?

Question - (27 February 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 28 February 2010)
A female New Zealand age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Although we aren't "dating", my friend and I are definitely exclusive. We trust each other and care about each other. We never established a label on the relationship, so calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend all of a sudden is a bit strange to get used to. How would you deal with an unlabeled relationship like this?

Laura1318 agony auntWhether it is a labeled or unlabeled relationship or not , it is just only a name sake. The important thing is, you are happy and he is happy and you trust each other.

One day you will redefine those parameters when the time comes.

Frank B Kermit agony auntIf it is unlabeled, then I have to question what trust you are referring to.

If you are trusting him to be monogamous to you, or faithful, I would highly doubt that...you can not be faithful nor monogamously exclusive to a relationship that refuses definition. The point of defining a relationship is to define its parameters and boundaries. That means defining it's exclusivity.
