Yesterday I was thinking about this word. What does it really mean and does it really exist? As I was talking to friends about my situation with R, we described it as being in limbo. Is it true?
One definition that suits the use is:
“an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution; an intermediate state or condition.”
Yet, I’m not sure this is entirely accurate. I am indeed waiting for my apartment to free up so that I can move. However, that’s a clear decision. It’s just waiting. There are no decisions awaiting on my side. I know what I want and how I want things to be. I guess, the main thing is that I haven’t clarified or shared that with R directly. Probably our ideas of the situation are quite different, but I am not sure that either of us are uncertain at the moment.
So, it is interesting to consider this word. I thought perhaps it is more accurate to say things in the relationship realm are more on hold than in limbo? Hm… π
