Relationship Anarchy

Relationships

What the term means

An approach that avoids preset hierarchies and instead builds agreements around each specific relationship.

In detail

This term concerns the structure or social format of relationships between adults. Such arrangements differ in communication, expectations, emotional involvement and practical boundaries. A label cannot replace the personal agreement of everyone involved, and it does not describe every participant in the same way.
