Beducated: It’s all about keeping it 100 on ‘Quiet Quitting’

Sometimes the truth hurts but it’s always healing. So it’s no surprise Beducated is stepping it up heading into the new year dishing on the topic of quiet quitting in relationships.

Beducated keeps it 100 on pulling the plug in relationships

While some try to sway away from the topic, Beducated goes full-fledged into the topic of pulling back when boo’d up.

Beducated CEO Mariah Freya is shedding light on the emerging relationship trend of 'quiet quitting' in a new Toronto Sun article, as the phenomenon, characterized by a partner's gradual emotional disengagement and avoidance of open communication, is becoming increasingly prevalent in modern relationships.

Freya, whose popular digital platform offers a variety of sex-ed courses promoting pleasure and wellness, explains, "Quiet quitting is often mistaken for a softer breakup approach, but it can be more damaging. It's a form of emotional withdrawal that leaves the other person in limbo, often feeling gaslighted and at fault." 

This passive approach to ending relationships, as Freya notes, can stem from emotional avoidance or anxiety about confronting relationship issues. “They often avoid open conversations, neglect responsibilities and especially avoid vulnerable moments together. This 'fading out' process  deliberately manipulates and destabilizes the other person's perception of reality… yet the ‘quiet quitter’ believes they are doing something good by not just breaking up, but by slowly distancing themselves.”

Freya clarifies that reasons for such behavior can be emotional avoidance, emotional stress and anxiety about facing the consequences, but says that open dialogue is always the best resolution to ending relationships - or, if possible, saving them.

“With the help of a health professional like a counselor or a therapist, navigating a complex dialog and salvaging the relationship is possible. But only when the quiet quitter is open to confront the situation. They need to be willing to work on themselves and have to have feelings left towards their partner. Also, the one being gaslighted requires support in healing the emotional abuse and can build up trust again.”
