Ghosting, gaslighting, negging; the present has brought us some not-so-greatdating trends.
Now we have a new one to add to our lexicon.
Quiet dumping, a cross between quiet quitting and ghosting, is on the rise.

What is it?
This trend has now been transferred to the dating world.
In short, people who are gaslit are persuaded that they are merely imagining problems.
Transferred to a partnership, this is even worse.
While this also hurts, it at least ends a relationship.
With quiet dumping, the end is artificially drawn out.
Why do people do it?
Often, people who quiet-dump a partner arent being malicious.
They are just avoiding having the difficult breakup conversation or putting themselves in a situation that is emotionally stressful.
However, this comes at the expense of the other person.
It could be because of current events.
They feel exhausted and have no energy to face more unpleasant situations.
How should you handle being quiet dumped?
Our feelings are always valid, no matter if someone tries to deny them.
This doesnt help you get over the grief, but it should at least be a small consolation.
How do you protect yourself from quiet dumping?
Can you protect yourself from quiet dumping in advance?
Communication is especially important in this regard.
Regular relationship check-ins can help prevent such communication problems.
Neither of you should be afraid to talk about your feelings and needs.
