Relationship anarchy refers to the practice of not following societal norms or society-dictated rules when it comes to having a relationship. The couple or multiple people involved in the relationship decide on defining their relationship, as well as regulating personal expectations and actions. People who abide by relationship anarchy do not identify themselves with the usual labels, such as 'in a relationship,' 'friends,' and the like. Likewise, the relationship does not need to be distinguished as sexual, platonic, or romantic.
