A term I learned tonight...although I know that the practice of ghosting has been going on for probably centuries. Its completely cutting off any communication to someone you previously had ties to...with little to no warning.
I am in the middle of being ghosted by a girl I was dating. We'd been dating a few months and things were going great. We had recently introduced each other to our kids which is pretty big step. Anyone with kids will know this. Then one day a few weeks ago I received my final text from her. She hasnt replied to any text since or returned a phone call. A few days passed between texts. I wasnt bombarding her at all(one phone call and VM and about 5 texts) In my voice mail, I politely asked that she just let me know if she had second thoughts about us being together and that would be that. No harm done. I cant fault someone for feeling different.
But I can find fault with someone that completely ceases communication because they dont have to balls to have a difficult conversation. That to me is what hurt the most. Being rejected...fine, it happens. But being rejected and ignored, that was what I had the hardest time coming to grips with.
Anyone ever been thru this? I dont mean a situation where you went on one date and the guy/girl was so annoying or creepy that ending communication was your only option. I mean someone that you had a great relationship with until...
