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.
