The way we perceive relationships are constantly evolving not only around the world but also in India, where monogamy was once the epitome of the successful relationships, according to the traditional mindset.
As the temperature drops, hearts appear to beat up faster amid the spark of being together during this time of the year. Winter has always been the season for love - when people want companionship, cosy movie nights and someone to share their blanket with. This time, however, there is a twist to the story.
The Gleeden-IPSOS Infidelity Study 2025 reveals that 69 per cent of Indians approved of open relationships as they are becoming more socially accepted. What was once considered unconventional has now become part of real conversation between couples. Cuffing season is upon us, but love is a little more open.

Winter is supposed to turn even the most practical into hopeless romantics. However, as love blossoms, this winter is not only about finding “the one,” but also finding what works for you. Couples are opening up to new ideas, from discussing boundaries to exploring emotional freedom.
