The Break-Up Diet

Are You Lonely or Just Cold? It’s Cuffing Season


Listen Later

It’s cold. London is dark by 4pm. Raya is suddenly popping off. Which can only mean one thing… it’s cuffing season ❄️💔


In this episode, Yaz & Ilmz get painfully honest about winter situationships, temporary boyfriends, and the very real question: are you actually lonely — or are you just cold? From the intimacy of doing the food shop together to cosplaying a relationship that has absolutely no future, cuffing season has a way of blurring the lines between comfort and commitment.


We talk about why winter flings hit harder than summer ones, how easy it is to confuse closeness with intention, and why being single during the festive season might actually be elite. There’s Raya chaos, London dating droughts, the Great Lock-In, and a reality check on letting winter trick you into someone who won’t survive spring.


If you’re debating texting your ex, settling for a “just for now” situation, or wondering why everyone suddenly has plans with a boy, this episode is for you. Grab a blanket, light a candle, and press play — hot water bottles over exes, always.🕯️✨
