Alright, ladies, it’s time. You knew this was coming, and now that the weather’s getting warmer, it’s unavoidable. Cuffing season is coming to an end.
Now, before you start a riot on High Streets during your panic session, keep in mind that this was inevitable. You’re not the only one going through this, so take a moment to look over the stages you’re about to experience.
Stage 1: Denial.
“What are you talking about? Me and [insert boy toy’s name here] are fine. We’re staying together, you’ll see.” News flash, honey, you’re only together for the sex. It may seem like there’s a relationship in there, but your late night cuddle sessions aren’t meant for affection.
Stage 2: Hope.
“Maybe we’re different. We’re the exception.” These thoughts might last an hour or a week, but the moment you go out for girl’s night and that insanely hot guy buys you a drink, you’ll forget all about that boy keeping your bed warm.
Stage 3: Acceptance.
Finally. No more arguing or staring at me with those big, heart shaped eyes that blinded you for the first two stages. Now you understand and have embraced the truth. But it doesn’t end there, because now you have move on to the next stage…
Stage 4: Worry.
You’re almost there, but now you have to find a way to break your chains. While you might have escaped from your cuff, that doesn’t mean that he has. It’s time for that awkward conversation, let’s hope he’s not too attached…
Stage 5: Freedom.
YOU’VE MADE IT! It may have been a struggle, but you’re now free to do whatever (or whoever) you want. Just try to avoid those drunk calls at 3 a.m. telling him how much you miss your cuffing partner, alright?
