“Company Bag” is a popular dating trend

Today’s digital dating world is full of flaky, non-traders. Unfortunately, with it, a single person dating someone they have connections with, but keep a secret.

If you have a gut feeling that your lover will purposely not post you on their Instagram feed, rather than bringing you to Aunt Debbie’s birthday party, or avoiding you meeting your friends, then they will most likely “spread” you.

While being on the receiving end is painful, experts say that people in bags are not always about you personally.

“While bags can be frustrating and undermine trust in a relationship, there are many reasons for this,” LPC Amanda E. White told Women’s Health in an interview.

“It could be out of fear, it could be because past relationships cannot be resolved. It doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t like you, or there is no hope for this relationship.”

It sounds like “Dr. Chloe” Carmichael told the media that sometimes if someone insists on bringing the person they are dating into their own world, it may be because they like them and are not sure how best to handle their feelings.

Carmichael explained: “…Sometimes people really just want to stomp gently when a relationship is on a new or refined stage.”

On the other hand, you can also date someone who wants to sneak and perform single so they can date.

This seems to be the case for a woman who shared her conflicting bag conditions on Reddit to seek advice from strangers.

“[My boyfriend and I] “It’s been together for 4 years and has talked about many future plans,” the OP wrote.

“On paper, we are a safe long-term couple. But when I deny that I spent time with him and his family at important family events, my boyfriend confuses me, and I have never met his friends (not even seen his friends).

Yes.

“Every time we have a conversation about this, they end up with a debate,” she wrote.

“The reasons are always different in the reasons why I can’t go, 90% of them have a solid solution. I’ve seen my boyfriend revolve around planning for work, but when it comes to his personal life, is that.”

As expected, the comment section is filled with obvious points to this distressed girlfriend.

One comment wrote: “It sounds like he is hiding something, or trying to hide you.”

“What is bad?

If this Reddit story is near home, experts recommend talking about it with your partner.

“Ask curiously, not blame,” White said.

“It’s clear from the beginning that you’re not judging them; you’re just curious about the situation.” Use phrases like “This is something I noticed” or “I told myself that the story is X, am I reading?” Carmichael added.
