Cushioning is the act of keeping several people on the back burner when you are dating someone but you’re not ready to commit. Cushioning is frequently done by people who really don’t want to be alone and who are maybe cheating but only emotionally. Imagine this – you’re dating a guy and you think it’s going really well, but then you find out that he has three other girls who he texts with for hours each day. He tells them everything about his life – including his emotional fights with you. He doesn’t fuck them or anything, but the emotional intimacy keeps them coming back for more. How would that make you feel? Some people feel that it would almost be better for a guy to cheat on his girl. Or how about this – a chick stays really good friends with her ex who she still has good feelings for, just in case things don’t work out with her current man. Those are two prime examples of cushioning.
