While it is not my practice to do so, I have come upon
many relationships, including ones my friends are in,
who feel that they are so concerned with making things
work to their advantage, even when they don’t need to.
For those of you who get bullshitted in a relationship,
here are some “terms” to keep up with:
“Benching” – taking out certain people of the running of
interests of dating.
“Bread-crumbing” – leading on someone.
“Bookmarking” – Selfishly continue to have someone
believe that you love them so that you always feel like
someone loves you, even if you don’t love them.
“Ghosting” – Mysteriously disappearing on purpose.
” Catfish” – Posting false iD and telling someone that
you’re something you’re not.
“Debarring” – pretending to do a favor to win brownie
points.
“Extra Burner” – place you put someone you want to
use as your contingency plan.
“Creeping” – snooping or stalking.
“Bombing” – coming on too strong for shallow reasons.
“Cutting season” – time period where people gather to
gain warmth.
“Slow fade” – breaking out of a relationship in a way so
that the other party won’t notice, normally for another
love interest.
“Inducing DTR” – Lecture to “define the relationship” as
to make the person want to break up with you.
Sadly, many of today’s relationships and marriages are
not mutual, as a result of too many people, especially
millennials, are so self-absorbed and feel that they “are
owed more ten they owe”, or are simply reliant on
second-hand information on others. As in many cases,
trust is not what it used to be.
