Sledging is a relationship dynamic where one partner delays the break-up until after the holiday season for companionship and physical intimacy. It can lead to emotional discomfort.
Signs of sledging typically include avoiding talk about the future and having a relationship that is mainly based on physicality. It’s crucial to communicate openly about any concerns regarding sledging.
The term 'sledging' reflects a cold tactic in dating, where one partner keeps the relationship active during the winter holidays, only to end it post-holidays, potentially leaving the other hurt.
Despite its contemporary use on social media, the practice of using relationship partners for companionship isn't new. Reasons for delaying break-ups can vary and may heighten during winter.
