Pride.com reports on a new toxic dating trend is making waves — and it's hitting LGBTQ+ daters hard. It's called banksying — think "quiet quitting" a relationship. Instead of breaking up, someone slowly pulls away emotionally, leaving their partner confused and hurt.
Experts say it's often rooted in fear of confrontation or emotional avoidance. While banksying isn't exclusive to queer relationships, LGBTQ+ folks may be more vulnerable due to added challenges like identity stress or safety concerns.
If you're feeling distant, be honest. Breakups are tough, but ghosting your way out only causes more harm.
