Sleeping together: the reasons why it is good for the couple
1. Cushioning
In Italian it would sound like "looking for a pillow" and it is as if it were a makeshift. Keep a heart on hand in case, with what we're with, it shouldn't end well. It's a kind of emotional betrayal that puts all three parties in a decidedly uncomfortable position.
Those who betray without doing so look for an escape route by making fun of two people at a time.
2. Ghosting

The web has many pros however, one of its cons is that it is extremely easy to disappear without leaving traces. "Ghosting" literally means "ghosting" and happens when our better half stops responding and simply disappears.
Maybe it blocks us, maybe it accidentally forgets about our existence until the other party, disheartened, decides to let it go.
3. Breadcrumbing
"Breadcrumbing" is the grandson of "ghosting". Remember the story of Tom Thumb who left behind a trail of crumbs to be found? Breadcrumbing works in reverse. One of the two members of the couple induces the other to hunger by sipping the answers: he has decided to get out of the relationship and yet, he doesn't have the guts to do it seriously.
4. Love bombing

Just like a bomb, it is an unexpected explosion that can only create victims. From one moment to the next, everything seems to collapse and, perhaps, it really is. The problem is that, since it is a very sudden thing, it does not give us time to distance ourselves safely.
5. Stealthing
Stealthing is the vilest and most infamous practice on this list. It consists in removing the condom during sexual intercourse, obviously without the consent of both parties, or it involves drilling it before use, thus making it unusable without the partner knowing.
It is to be considered a real violence.
6. Stashing

The "stashing" is typical of our time and consists in never posting photographs of our sweetheart on social networks. In addition to this, there is no mention of him, we do not introduce him to our friends, our parents, our colleagues ... Maybe they know that there is only that no one really knew him.
Whether you're stashing yourself or your mate doing it, stay on your guard: it's clear your story is worth less than you think.
7. Throwback Dating
Okay, happy couples don't post selfies on social media, but it must be admitted that finding people to hang out with using apps and websites is very simple, often easier than approaching them in person.
Ancient people shy away from modern means of communication and are therefore difficult to find.
Finding love has never been easy and yet, with a little luck, we are sure that you too can have your fairytale love.
