GHOSTING Is ending communication abruptly, suddenly, without an explanation. In an Intimate Relationship, it can be devastating. From one day to the other, your loved one shuts up on you and starts treating you like you are INVISIBLE. The unspoken message clearly states: “I do not see you,neither do l want to hear what you have to say.” Without a spoken word , the message is still loud and clear; “l Will live with you in this house, Share a roof with you, but l Am going To Ghost You.You do not exist as far as l am concerned?”.
Ghosting is psychological abuse in a relationship. The Abuser controls conversation time and has the power to continue with the ghosting game. They call the shots in that space, in this case, your home and your interactions.
Why does an abuser do that? The primary reason is it is in their character. They knowingly prioritise their egoistical, uncompromising, selfish, and immature attitudes. They might decide to do that if they consider their partner not worth their time and energy. Whatever the case, Ghosting is neither a solution nor a reasonable excuse nor a healthy sign of communicative maturity. It is a weapon of intimate relationship abuse.
Communication is vital in every relationship, whether intimate or otherwise. If Ghosting happens often, one might consider counselling. Ghosting will cause emotional harm, which has other dire consequences for the victim’s well-being. The behaviour is toxic as it brings into that atmospheric space a lot of negative energy that eventually creates anxiety and fear due to the uncertainty of consequent actions.
Do not accept prolonged Ghosting, and if your partner shows this as a frequent habit, then it is time to seek help from a trusted friend or professional partner counselling. Do not think your partner will change with time. Seek Help!
Love shouldn’t hurt
