Have you heard of this 'sledging' thing? It’s the latest dating term making the rounds this holiday season—but honestly, it’s nothing new. It’s when someone drags things out, like dating someone they’re not really into just to have a plus-one for all those holiday events. Or even holding off on a breakup until the holidays are over. Ouch, right? So, if you're out there, watch out for those sledgers—and maybe don't be one yourself.
Here's my Christmas Confession:
I admit that I was a "sledger" once about 5 years ago, but not for a nefarious reason. I knew a breakup was eminent, but I honestly didn't want my girlfriend to be unhappy during the holidays. I think I did the right thing at the time. We broke up on December 30th though, so we did not make it through New Years Eve...
Believe me when I say I tried...
