“Sledging” is the Latest Toxic Modern Dating Trend

If you’re not “ghosting” someone or stuck in a “situationship,” you might be doing what they call “sledging.”

When it comes to dating, keeping up with the newest rules and trends can be tricky. If you’re not “ghosting” someone or stuck in a “situationship,” you might be doing what they call “sledging.” This happens when someone intentionally drags out a relationship to delay a breakup during the winter months. Romance experts say many people crave companionship during the holidays and dread being stuck inside alone during the coldest time of the year. “Sledging” gives them a way to avoid ending the year solo while planning a breakup soon after.
