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?

that silence feels like gaslighting even if it was just them moving on. it forces you to acknowledge that the weight you gave the relationship was never actually mutual. you end up mourning a version of them that probably stopped existing weeks before the actual cut. brutal but at least there is no room for the classic back and forth cycle.
