So what are you to do if someone ghosts you? A good starting point is therefore to take responsibility for your own actions and interpret those of others as best you can. You also have to accept that you may never have the perfect answer. But you can nevertheless give yourself some time to be sad, try to figure out what happened and finally learn and move on.
Research has also shown that a type of writing that allows people to examine their loss through a redemptive lens without blame and which focuses on the positives can be useful useful in helping achieve closure , whereas simply writing and searching for meaning has been found to be ineffective.
Ultimately, closure is a complicated cognitive process and the key is learning to live with the ambiguity when it cannot be achieved.

Because at the end of the day — he chose to treat me with a lack of respect, affection, kindness and love, and made me feel guilty and crazy for feeling hurt. I deserve so much more than that. Who cares. End of story. You go girl! So proud of and happy for you.
Thank you for being a part of this tribe, for motivating me and for allowing me to see that I was never and am never alone in my feelings, emotions and experiences. All my love to you soul sister. Giving you a giant hug! I am so glad I found you. I was pursued by my ex in May of on social media. I was taking me time after an 11 break up. We just chatted for a few months because he said he was just recently separated and that is just a red flag for me..
So, we were just good friends. His wife and their 12 year old daughter moved out of the house and he was in the process of selling the home. We got closer but never intimate. Our souls connected and he said he loved but I still wanted to wait a year until the divorce was final.
Well, after confessing our love in September , we talked about our future. We were extremely close so I thought. Well, he got really sick due to some stomach issues and he had minor surgery.
While he was recovering, I took him groceries and his medicine, just kind of looked after him for a couple of weeks. Well, his house finally sold in December and he was going to move in and he just disappeared he ghosted me for a month. I believe in the No Contact rule so, I was never going to contact him. He had a gambling problem for the past 25 years playing black jack that he told me about He apologized, said everything was moving so fast and that he missed seeing his daughter every night.
He is a mans man but he does have an old fashioned side. So, he moved in February, well, that lasted a month. I came home after work and his stuff was gone. No Contact again, 2nd time. Again, he contacted me a week later this time, said the same thing, he is not good enough for me that I have everything together. His was not happy with his current position. His work life has not been the same since his company downsized in When he was with his ex, they never saved anything.
All she did was spend, spend ,spend and never helped with their home. I have a great career and I can spend and save.. Yay to me for being self reliant. Well, he came home again. Fast forward and why I always took him back he left I think about 5 or 6 times throughout I just chalked it up to everything he was going thru and I was not going to nag him. Here is where I am shocked. After all of this in the past year, we decided we were going to move closer to our jobs so, we both moved in with family to pay off all of our credit card debt so we could start our future in the summer of , look for a house.
I put all of my furniture in storage. Well on January 29 he disappeared again, it has 17 days of No Contact. I will not contact him and I believe this is it. His divorce was in the final stages of being finalized and I am thinking he went back to his wife and daughter. I am just shocked at how much of a coward this man is to not tell me to my face after this rollercoaster ride that in the beginning I did not want to get on.
I knew back when we first started talking in that I should have said contact me after your divorced and are emotionally available. Now, I am left to pick up the pieces and he is gone almost 3 weeks of No Contact.
I am a very strong woman but geez, this has done it foe me. The feeling of being deserted is awful. He has showed me the kind of guy he is. I believe now he was a liar and he was having more issues than he let on. I fell for all of it. It was all a pipedream. Nightmare is more like it. Thanks for listening. I know I will never have closure from him.? Your posts came to me at the right time!
