Future Faking

Future faking is also known as “dangling the carrot” in a relationship. The future faker’s goal is to prevent you from exiting the relationship because they still want to reap benefits from you.

Common examples of “dangling the carrot” may include [false] promises of:
🥕 Engagement/Marriage
🥕 Getting a job to contribute financially
🥕 Helping with the kids
🥕 Introducing you to their family
🥕 Making the relationship “official”

To avoid future faking, try to make decisions based on their actions, instead of their false promises.
