Right? You could totally ghost someone without having any idea that that’s what it’s popularly called. Not knowing the term does not mean you didn’t do it!

This is such a good point. Not everyone ‘deserves’ to be officially broken up with. Sometimes that’s just more emotional energy than they are wroth.

I am pro-ghosting, but that’s because I’ve been in a couple relationships with seriously psychologically abusive people. Attempting an ‘actual’ breakup in those situations is just more damaging.

I was just having s conversation with a friend of mine about this and she sounds exactly like you. :) I 100% disagree with you both. I think the problem is that you assume everyone would rather be outright broken up with rather than ghosted. While that’s probably true in most longer relationships, I don’t think it is…

I had to ghost a friend once too. This guy I was friends with would NOT stop hitting on me despite knowing I was in a long term relationship with someone. I told him straight up when he first hit on me when we met that I was dating someone for 3 years. But he was an okay dude so I thought we could be acquaintance type…

And the fucking ghosting thing, like literally, I still don’t even know what it is.

Honestly, that seems like possibly the Greatest Fake Couple To Have As Dinner Guests.

Right, she’s coming from a very privileged place.

After thinking about this for a few minutes, I get what Gwen is saying too in a very cringe-y way. I have tried to filter myself against the BS and the negative people that want to control my aging uterus and dusty ova. I can though because I am a white, cis gendered, heteronormative, middle aged woman (oh, and upper…

Just because she alleged doesn’t know what that means, doesn’t mean SHE DIDN’T DO IT!!! I believe she DID but just didn’t know that was a thing called ghosting.

Disagree. Yes, it sucks to be ghosted. But that doesn’t mean that the other person has permission to stalk/harass you. If they run into you in the grocery store, can they come up and say what happened? Sure. But there’s no answer to that question that would be satisfying. The answer is that person sucks and they…

Okay can we have a conversation about ghosting? Because there was a woman on here over the weekend leaving comments directed at a Kinja user who had apparently ghosted her and she claimed this was her way of trying to contact him. She had a kajillion stars and of course people were interested in the juicy drama, but I…

Gwen Stefani told an interviewer that identifying as trans “feels like nothing” anymore.

Tbh I do not know who Wentworth Miller is but my heart goes out to him and I love that post on his facebook.

Bobby is all of us.

The internet says so though.....

Charlize just ocean-walked away from Sean Penn.

I heard Charlize Theron is now engaged to Jon Lovitz.

So Gwen missed the new law in regressive North Carolina then?

“and then we both decided that I wasn’t going to call him anymore. And we agreed I wouldn’t return his calls. And then we concurred that I should untag myself from all his instagrams. And then we settled on sending his emails to spam. Oh that’s what ghosting is? Oh, yeah I totally ghosted on him then.”
