| 'It's like ghosting but in real life': The rise of 'alpine divorce' |
|
|
Hello and welcome back to Lessons in Lifestyle… On a sweltering summer day in 2011, Maya Silver was hiking through Colorado's remote Unaweep Canyon when her then-boyfriend started to grow frustrated with her pace. The sun was blazing overhead, the terrain was difficult, and she couldn't keep up. Without a word, he stormed ahead – and then vanished from sight. Silver, an inexperienced hiker at the time, spent the next two hours alone, lost and spiralling with fears of rattlesnake bites, heatstroke, and the suffocating isolation of the canyon. Silver experienced what has more recently been dubbed "alpine divorce," a new dating term that describes the physical abandonment of a significant other, intentionally or unintentionally, in the mountains. Online, women have recounted experiences like Silver's: being guided by a more experienced male partner on hikes, only to be left stranded – and with the unsettling sense that their partner does not have their best interests at heart.

Elsewhere this week, Lydia Spencer-Elliott looks into why arguing in public might actually be good for the relationship – after the hit series Love Story recreated scenes of the infamous screaming match between JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in Battery Park, New York. Studies have shown that walking puts you in a more creative mindset, while arguing on-the-go also encourages "sideways listening" – when you speak with someone at an angle, rather than head-on, which can encourage them to relax and talk more openly. Find the full piece here. Until next time! |

Have you ever experienced 'alpine divorce'? |
The new dating term "alpine divorce" describes the physical abandonment of a significant other, intentionally or unintentionally, in the mountains.
