Winter is not the only thing ending with the arrival of summer. It also marks the end of old relationships.
The springtime and early summer months are the beginning of the uncuffing season, i.e., a time when most immature relationships that can’t test the hardships of time come to an end.
The cold months of the year are known to be the cuffing season when single people who are not ready for long-term relationships settle for a committed relationship that lasts only for the season.
The uncuffing season is exactly the opposite of the cuffing season, when people are ready to be single again and search for new love.
