Is there a smooth way to break things off with someone? Do you have an experience where you wish things had ended differently?
I recently had an experience where I got ghosted by a man I dated and had gotten close to over several months. It HURT. Just no explanation, there hadn't been any kind of arguments, no reason, just nothing. It hurt so bad.
I unwisely buried all my anger and hurt and very selfishly threw myself into looking for another man. I met someone new very quickly, and initially I felt like that was enough, I was receiving validation from someone who was interested in me again. I could just forget about everything like it never happened.
What actually happened is I started feeling so suffocated by the new attention and questions, I knew i needed to break things off, because it was just all wrong.
I gave this guy a call this morning and told him that although he he had been lovely, I just didn't feel right about moving forward and dating.
I know that's crappy to hear, and I certainly didn't expect him to be happy, but I wasn't prepared for how horribly he reacted.
So I don't really know what the point is here.
But I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from me, and I'm totally okay with being alone again for now.
