Manbandonment

Manbandonment (noun)

A coined term and portmanteau of man and abandonment, describing the experience of being emotionally, relationally, or situationally abandoned by a man—often following intimacy, commitment signals, or reliance.

Manbandonment refers less to a single act and more to the impact of sudden withdrawal—silence, disengagement, or disappearance that leaves unresolved emotional weight.

“He didn’t explain, he just disappeared—classic manbandonment.”
“That wasn’t a breakup, it was manbandonment.”
“They're healing from manbandonment, not heartbreak.”

Macbeth effect

The "Macbeth effect" study shows that people who have recently washed their hands tend to make harsher and more judgmental moral decisions. Conversely, those who feel physically "dirty" are more tolerant of minor ethical violations.

After washing his hands, he totally judged his friend for that minor mistake—classic Macbeth effect at play!

Manbattical

NOUN: When a person who is attracted to men takes time for themself and puts no energy towards them. It's a time to prioritize one's own wellbeing...no dating and no seeking male attention nor validation. Recommended time period is a minimum 6 months and/or enough time to release the dopamine addiction of new relationship energy.

She has accomplished SO much since starting her Manbattical; she wrote a book, finished her website and is now looking for an agent.
