I absolutely hate when someone ends a relationship by simply walking away and never calling or answering. No explanation, nothing 2 years gone.

I can imagine how annoying it would be. I compare it to a conversation on the phone, someone says "hey, I need to go to the other room..." and it cuts out, but doesn't make a clicking noise, so you stand there waiting for them to say something. Then it clicks, and you've realized what happened.

It is hard to take when something like that happens, I know what it's like to be led into developing feelings and then suddenly be made to feel like nothing is coming back your way, it leaves nothing but questions and emptiness and it's hard to understand how someone can apparently just turn off their feelings and get on with life anew.

But people are motivated by a lot of things and without specific knowledge it can seem like cowardice when maybe it's not, that doesn't make it excusable of course but when a person gets scared they go toward self-preservation and leave others in the wind and it isn't always out of malice or cowardice, just fear.

Those left alone can find only anger and resentment at being treated with disregard but there could be a lot of things at play for the other person and without knowing about that I'd be hesistant to call them a coward, maybe fragile, fearful etc...

I have had a similar experience and while I certianly don't think back with a great deal of sympathy for the woman in question I don't think she was a coward, just damaged and unaware how to deal with her problems but to push people away, it sucks other people have to suffer for it but that's human nature.

That is a horrible thing to do, and im sorry that happened to you. Your right, it is a coward who does something like that.

That is a pet peeve of mine-when I'm in mid-sentance and the other person hangs up is the most vexing thing I know-
the other thing I dislike is someone calling addiction a disease.

A similar thing happened to me, although I go to a boarding school, so they had a more difficult time running away, and just started ignoring me. It's really painful when you think you have something wonderful and the other person is simply able to walk away from that, but you should definitely not let it affect your life. I know I'm more paranoid about that situation now than I should be, which has made other relationships (even platonic ones) more difficult, but I think it takes a certain kind of person to do that, and you just have to watch out for that. If someone's cold to other people and nice to you, chances are they'll turn cold to you too...
