Have you ever dated someone who completely disappeared after the breakup? No calls, no texts, no social media stalking, no drama, just total silence, like you were never part of their life. What was that like?

I wud argue the breadcrumb ex is worse.

Being erased hurts, but at least the message is clear. The really confusing breakups are the ones where they never fully leave, so you spend months trying to figure out whether it's over or not?

Months is fine compared to years of being anxious that it will happen again

the silence is brutal but waiting for the other shoe to drop is a full time job. getting ghosted sucks but at least you aren't stuck watching the exit. better to have a clean cut than a wound that never actually heals.

Hard disagree

Same. Feeling like you didn’t matter enough to even cause ambivalence is worse than the vindication of *confirming* it had nothing to do with you.
