Retiring Guy's Digest: Situationship: Slang and trending but not yet officially in Merriam-Webster dictionary

Headline: New York Times, 7/26/2026

From the New York Times version of "Dear Abby":

My boss, whom I love as a dear friend, has taken to bringing his “situationship” (a.k.a. not his partner or boyfriend) into the office to “work.” (This man is not an employee of the company.) Sometimes it is two full days a week, and the “sitch” will often sit at my desk, where private documents kept or sensitive phone calls with sources are taking place. (We work with highly sensitive information on a global scale.)
