Preferred term

abandonment or desertion  

Definition

  • Spousal abandonment or desertion occurs when one partner leaves the relationship but does not inform the other of this choice. The spouse left behind becomes aware of the desertion as a result of the partner's absence rather than a discussion about ending the relationship. [Source: Cultural Sociology of Divorce: An Encyclopedia; Abandonment or Desertion]
