There was a time when we used to dance on songs like ‘Is Pyaar Ko Main Kya Naam Doon’, used to get lost in every episode of serials like ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and wept on films like ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’. There is hardly anyone who has never made any Bollywood scene cry, when someone has asked – ‘What do I think of you, Raj?’
It was considered very important to name relationships at that time. Friend? Best Friend? Partner or lover? The name itself used to make the relationship ‘reality’. But in the world of 2025, perhaps ‘without name’ is the real answer.
Relationship anarchy is not a trend, but an ideology. It rejects the traditional thinking of defying relationships and emphasizes that every person should create their own relationships, without the determined structures and rules of the society. A relationship expert states that the relationship chaos rejects traditional, hierarchical relationships and social rules. It gives freedom to create self -sufficiency, mutual respect and relationships without predetermined structure. Romantic, friendly, family or sexual relations- every relationship is important in this ideology, but not tied in any name or tradition.
No. Polymari means to love more than one people, but it is also in a fixed structure, such as a partner, fixed limits. Relationship chaos makes them all even more flexible. “RA means ‘anarchy’ means – without ruler. That is, you decide the rules of your relationship, no one else. No script, no template, just intention.
Relationship experts say that as many people can be forms of relationships. The relationship chaos accepts it and does not put love in a fixed box. Here the commitment does not mean a wedding ring or a relationship status on social media. This can be to know each other’s condition every day, to support each other if needed or just sit together on a weekend.
The relationship chaos is away from showing on social media. It contains no Instagram story, proposal reel or #Couplegals. It does not compete with traditional relationships, but chooses to stay out of that appearance. However, this model is not for everyone.
Perhaps the definition is more effective to understand the relationship chaos. Like Maya and Zain, who were neither couples nor only friends. Their relationship never used to ask for a name, but there was warmth, stability and a silent consent. Sometimes works, sometimes not. Still continued. Perhaps this is the real thing.
Those who believe that people are not emotionally attached in the relationship chaos, they are wrong. People who believe in this ideology are often very alert and honest towards their love. They just do not want to mold their emotions into a fixed definition.
