'Dry begging' is a toxic relationship habit you might be guilty of. Therapists say it is more common than you think
Relationships are often seen as a delicate dance of communication, compromise, and emotional attunement. But sometimes, what seems like a harmless comment or a casual hint can quietly chip away at that foundation. Enter dry begging —a subtle, passive-aggressive behavior that relationship therapists are now sounding the alarm over. A new buzzword for an old behavior While you won't find dry begging in any formal psychology textbook just yet, the term is quickly gaining traction online and in therapy rooms alike. Popularized in part by UK-based counselor Darren Magee through his viral YouTube explanation, the phrase describes a pattern of passive emotional manipulation—usually involving guilt-tripping or indirect demands—without any direct communication. Imagine hearing: 'I guess I'll just do all the laundry this week' or 'Most people would be happy their partner does this.' On the surface, these might sound like small grievances. But according to Magee, they're classic signs of dry begging—using emotional cues instead of clear language to make your partner feel obligated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Grow and build next-gen AI skills with BITS Pilani. BITS Pilani WILP Apply Now Undo Guilt as currency, not communication Magee explains that dry begging often involves exploiting emotional signals or subtle vulnerability to elicit action or sympathy. The result? One partner ends up shouldering unspoken burdens while the other avoids uncomfortable honesty. 'Dry begging operates by exploiting social cues and emotional signals rather than making direct requests,' Magee notes. 'It's aimed at creating a sense of obligation in others.'

In a report from UNILAD , relationship therapist Hope Kelaher warns that this pattern of interaction, if left unchecked, could spiral into deeper issues like mistrust, emotional withdrawal, and ultimately, relationship breakdown. Not just annoying—potentially damaging Kelaher emphasizes that strong relationships rely on vulnerability and open dialogue. 'Taking a passive-aggressive stance is the exact opposite,' she explains. 'In worst-case scenarios, I've seen it lead to communication breakdown , increased conflict, and the end of a relationship.' The concern is not just that people are using dry begging—but that many don't even realize they're doing it. On Reddit, where Magee's video has sparked heated conversations, users shared relatable experiences of past relationships marred by such veiled emotional tactics. One user summed it up: 'I never knew there was a word for it. But looking back, that behavior killed the trust in our relationship.' You Might Also Like: Is ChatGPT fueling breakups? How AI relationship advice may be sparking delusions and destroying real connections Honesty beats hints While dry begging may not be as overtly damaging as shouting matches or betrayal, experts warn that its quiet toxicity can be just as destructive over time. It's a gentle reminder that clear, compassionate communication—no matter how awkward—will always be healthier than weaponized guilt. So the next time you feel tempted to say, 'I guess I'll do it since no one else will,' consider pausing. Ask for what you need. You may be surprised at how much stronger your relationship becomes.

Mohali court remands YouTuber Jasbir Singh to 2 days of police custody. What are the charges against him?
Three days after being arrested on espionage charges, a Mohali court on Saturday remanded YouTuber Jasbir Singh to two days of police custody, reported ANI. According to the report, Jasbir Singh alias Jaan Mahal (41) is a resident of Village Mahlan in Rupnagar. He has been operating a YouTube channel "JaanMahal Video" with over 11 lakh subscribers and posting travel and cooking vlogs. Commenting on Jasbir's remand, his lawyer said, as quoted by ANI, "The police had asked for 7 days remand... We asked the police through the court what they did in 3 days. Today, he has been sent to a 2-day police remand." The police further alleged that Jasbir maintained close contact with Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who was earlier arrested for espionage. Also, Jasbir even maintained close relations with Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a Pakistani national and expelled Pakistan High Commission official, as alleged by the police. The Punjab Police's State Special Operation Cell (SSOC), SAS Nagar, on Wednesday arrested Jasbir Singh for spying for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav said in an official statement. DGP Gaurav Yadav had said that Jasbir was found associated with Pakistani Intelligence Operative (PIO) Shakir alias Jutt Randhawa, which is a part of a terror-backed espionage network. The DGP further added that Jasbir maintained close contact with Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra and Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish. Among other things, DGP Yadav said Jasbir attended the Pakistan National Day event in Delhi on Danish's invitation, where he met Pakistani Army officials and vloggers. The senior police official added the accused travelled to Pakistan on three occasions, including in 2020, 2021 and 2024, and came into direct contact with ISI officers. He was recruited then to carry out espionage activities within India. Concluding his statement, DGP Yadav said Jasbir attempted to erase all traces of his communications with these PIOs to avoid detection, following Jyoti Malhotra's arrest. Meanwhile, investigations are underway to dismantle the broader espionage-terror network. A report by NDTV stated that the ones who are currently facing espionage charges include 25-year-old Patiala's Khalsa College student Davendra Singh Dhillon, 24-year-old security guard in Haryana Nauman Ilahi, 28-year-old health worker from Gujarat Sahdev Singh Gohil, Arman and Tarif from Haryana, and Rajasthan government employee from Jaisalmer Shakur Khan. All the above mentioned people have been arrested on espionage charges and their links with Pakistan's ISI.
