Ghosting in Relationship

Getting ghosted in a relationship never feels good. You're just minding your business, getting deeper and deeper into a relationship with someone when, out of nowhere, they seemingly disappear off the face of the Earth and cease to respond to any form of communication from you. 

Then you are left with the illusion of them coming back. Just like when you just lost a dear one and you dreamt about such person simply because you slept thinking about them, the image is so real but imaginary. Exactly that's how it is when you are been ghosted.

"Ignoring an initial message isn't ghosting - that's passive rejection, and sadly I think that's a sign of modern life these days.

"However, once you have started to build a relationship with someone, met up, invested time in them and then you just disappear without a trace, that is ghosting."

Once you discovered, you're been ghosted; You should never blame yourself for why it happened because there could be a laundry list of reasons for why that person decided to ghost," 

Ghosting is such like a coat of million of colors, you really don't which one is which. The ghoster (the person ghosting you) would have been so into you that you won't be able to differentiate between the reality of them abandoning you and your expectations of them coming back. Just like someone joking said "you will never know you didn't know so much colors until you receive wedding invitation"

Just brace yourself up and move on with your life cos at one point or the other, everyone will be ghosted in relationship and chances abound you've ghosted someone without you knowing about it.

We've all been tempted to ghost someone and some of us probably even have (👀), but it's never OK. If we're being real, it's easier to ignore a problem until it just goes away than having to face an uncomfortable situation, but ghosting is selfish and cowardly
