What to do when you've been ghosted

Just as someone can enter your life with a swipe, they can also disappear again without trace. — dpa

Ghosting, an Oxford dictionary definition says, is “the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication”.And it’s a phenomenon that’s facilitated by social media and online dating apps. Couples therapist Sharon Brehm agrees that the anonymity of the internet isn’t the reason for ghosting.“Just picture someone saying they’re going to step out for a minute to get cigarettes and then never returning.”Brehm believes it’s to avoid conflict, “along the lines of ‘my truthfulness would hurt you, and so I’m protecting you with my silence’”.

“Ghosting is a conscious or unconscious decision by another person, and says more about the ghoster than the person who’s been ghosted,” she says.Couples and sex therapist Carsten Mueller urges ghosting victims not to blame themselves.It can take a while though, because, as the saying goes: once bitten, twice shy.
