What is roaching?

With the use of smartphones and social media, couples have experienced issues such as "ghosting" and "phubbing." However, now there’s a new trend that can ruin a relationship called "roaching."
The act of roaching typically happens early in the dating portion of a monogamous relationship, lifestyle website AskMen reported. Roaching is essentially when a person keeps their options open then downplays the behavior when confronted. They will hide crushes, flings and even previous partners from their significant other. The trend seems to be popular with couples who found each other through online dating apps such as Tinder or Bumble, according to the site.
