Prescripted

[Britney]

Adj.

Prescripted comes from [Prescribe]: Latin, praescribere =

1. to write at the beginning, [dictate], order;

2. to lay down a rule : [DICTATE];

3. to lay down as a guide, direction, or rule of action : [ORDAIN];

4. to specify with authority.

To [prescript] a relationship, then, is to create a set of rules governing the relationship before the people involved ever get into said relationship. These rules are often set up to define a relationship involving someone who is not even in existence yet and therefore cannot give his or her input into the relationship agreements, such as a married couple deciding the rules for a future extramarital partner before even finding one.

By contrast, a descriptive relationship describes the relationship as it is at the time with input from all involved.

[Couch Potatoe]

When [one is] [addicted] to [prescription] drugs.
