▲'''Queerplatonic relationship''', or '''QPR''', is an umbrella term for any relationship that bends the rules for telling apart romantic relationships from non-romantic relationships.
In some societies, hard lines are drawn between appropriate behavior for a romance vs. a friendship. For example, cultural norms might say that romantic partners are more physically affectionate or more close emotionally than friends are, as well as more likely to partner in major life activities such as buying a house or raising a child together.
