I am in agreement. I was just thinking about how I would myself act. I wasn't trying to argue. Communication is good.

So well said, absolutely. Can all be that bit kinderThis! Mental health. We don’t always know what’s going on with the other person.
Yea. Ghosting, in that situation seems ... Not fair, but sometimes like the only safe outcome if one party is persistent and the other has one foot out the door.... So to speak.Absolutely! I’d love that!
But I was thinking more of the people who’ve been talking/playing for awhile and want to end it. If the other person doesn’t want to end it it’s easier to ghost than argue and deal with the consequences. Doesn’t make it right but…
G'night, there, dawn.
Speaking on behalf of people, we are sorry, but we understand.I'm tired of people.
I hope you feel better. Maybe take a break and listen to aggressive music. It helps me. You could listen to this:I'm tired of people.
this song sounds like it belongs in a movie or tv show with a seduction/sex scene involving a dark industrial dance floor and a dark warehouse loft bedroom with windows and neon lights.I hope you feel better. Maybe take a break and listen to aggressive music. It helps me. You could listen to this:
Haven't seen the video yet but I guess now I am about to!
I mean, it's Depeche Mode. They are forerunners of industrial.this song sounds like it belongs in a movie or tv show with a seduction/sex scene involving a dark industrial dance floor and a dark warehouse loft bedroom with windows and neon lights.

This, this, this, this! All very well thought out points. I really appreciate that you took the time to write and think about this, because it hits so many marks. I think, after you've been in a thing with someone for a while, ghosting isn't appropriate unless you have already told them you are no longer interested and they don't take the hint.It is no shocker to anyone but I think clear and direct communication is best. It can be uncomfortable but I think it is best for all involved.
Breadcrumbing is crappy no matter why the person is doing it. It is important to know that they are aware they are doing it though. I have defintily had times where I felt someone was stringing me along but they claimed to not be aware of how their behavior could be interpreted. By saying something I let them know what it was feeling like to me and made sure we were on the same page moving forward.
Ghosting is also awful. I really don't understand it. If you are just getting to know someone a huge pm about why you're not interested isn't necessary but if you have a thing with someone then letting them know when things change for you is the most adult way to behave. Now this is different from
needing to distance from someone that won't leave you alone or accept no for an answer. I don't think this is ghosting. But if a person was good enough to be a friend or to play with the then they deserve to be treated with basic decency.
When I've been ghosted I'm left wondering if I'm imagining the distance and then what I did wrong. I'd so much rather know it was done and why. It sucks but is better than the stories I tell myself.

I agree with all of this...ultimately it's a relationship and all relationships deserve to be valued. now do i think the majority of people can or will live up to this? no i don't unfortunately. but like you said, if a person is important enough to get you off, they are important enough to deserve an honest conversation or at the very least closure.It is no shocker to anyone but I think clear and direct communication is best. It can be uncomfortable but I think it is best for all involved.

the sensory blanket of a hot shower with adequate water pressure mmmI'm so grateful that I have a working shower. I feel bad for folks who do not. My friend is on a camping trip right now, and their RV's shower head is broken. What a huge bummer!
ThanksLit so needs a care emoji.
