Here’s a new name for cheating … cushioning. Yep, there’s a new relationship trend called cushioning, which is basically having someone to fall back on if things don't work out in your current relationship. What happens is you start to talk, flirt, spend time with, and maybe even hook up with this other person, who becomes your safety “cushion,” or relationship insurance, if you break up with the person you’re with.
