The concept of jilting implies a sudden and unexpected termination of a relationship, usually leaving the person on the receiving end feeling jilted, deceived, or left in a state of confusion and disbelief. It involves reneging on or forsaking a previously agreed-upon commitment, leaving the other person with a sense of rejection or emotional distress.
Jilting can manifest in various ways, such as canceling wedding plans, avoiding or ignoring one's partner, or severing all forms of communication without explanation.
