ARE YOU BEING FIZZLED OUT?

Fizzling, in many ways, is worse than breaking up with someone over text
-

Nobody enjoys breaking up. Whether you’re initiating the break-up or are at the receiving end of one, it never feels good – especially the aftermath of it, when you seem to have lost all connection between your partner and yourself. You are still you, but not you at all. Still, a break-up offers everyone involved closure and the opportunity to move on, which is, unfortunately, not the case when it comes to the dating trend fizzling.
What Exactly Is Fizzling All About?
‘Fizzling’ happens when someone wants to end the relationship without saying the words out loud. In order to avoid confrontation for whatever reason, they withdraw their attention and affection over time until the other person gets the hint and the relationship quite literally fizzles out.
