jiltings
Sudden love departures
Jiltings are instances of abruptly rejecting or abandoning someone, especially a romantic partner.
The word carries connotations of sudden betrayal—being left at the altar is the classic jilting: After two jiltings, she swore off engagements altogether.
The term applies to any callous romantic dismissal.
