I sent him a text the next morning.
A text in the afternoon.
No response.
A day later, a call.
No answer.
I got the hint. I was being ghosted.
I’d heard about the phenomenon of “ghosting” before it happened to me, which is when someone in your life just disappears like a ghost, without a warning or a goodbye. They just leave. Whether it’s towards a friend or a significant other, to ghost someone is an extremely childish method of avoiding confrontation.

I was in a regular, healthy relationship with a long-distance boyfriend and six months in, he removed himself from my life without a warning. (He drunk texted me months later, but I had deleted his number. I felt a little better after I replied, “new phone, who dis” and went on with my day.)
Our “breakup” was so sudden.
