What is Gen Z’s CCD concept? Relationship added a new term

Gen Z’s definition of love

There was a time when people used to spend their lives waiting for and loving someone, but today all this has changed. Now people are ready to get into a relationship, but shy away from making a life time commitment.

It has become a common thing in today’s generation that even while being in a relationship with someone, they start carrying a backup for themselves, which is used when the previous relationship ends.

The first C stands for cuffing

This is a relationship term that defines a season. This is a relationship that includes people who are single and want to be with someone for some time.

It can also be said that getting into a relationship to fulfill your needs and share your feelings and then breaking up after you are done with it or your benefit is achieved. This concept is known as ‘cuffing season’. This is a temporary relationship.

The second C defines cushioning

The word cushioning is derived from the word cushion, which means a mattress. It means a person who is used for one’s comfort. In this relationship, boys and girls keep a backup plan for themselves even while being in a relationship. People use such a person when their own relationship is not going well or is on the verge of a breakup.

DINK is also a new concept

DINK stands for ‘Double Income, No Kids’, that is, a relationship in which both the partners earn money but mutually choose not to have children. Such people have a more flexible lifestyle and financial freedom than couples who have children.

How CCD affects relationships

These concepts work to weaken any relationship. If you are in a relationship with someone and still keep in touch with someone else, then this creates weakness in your relationship.

In such a situation, when your partner is not with you and is unable to support you due to some reasons, then instead of understanding him/her, you will go to the person who is kept as backup. Due to this, the feeling starts changing from person to person. Therefore, whoever you are in a relationship with, be loyal to them and take your relationship to a good level.
