Stashing
BehaviorHiding your partner from your friends, family, or social media.
What it means
Stashing is when one partner deliberately keeps the other hidden from their broader life — never introduced to friends, never appears on social media, never invited to social events. It's typically a sign that the stasher is unsure about the relationship, dating others, or married. The stashed partner often doesn't realize it's happening for a long time.
