Have you ever used another number to try and get in touch with a friend?

Bit of a strange one, I know. But say a friend suddenly stops replying - no argument, no falling out, just silence. You’re left wondering if something happened or if you’ve done something wrong… and eventually, curiosity (or worry) gets the better of you.

Have you ever used a different number - even just once - to try and get a reply? Not to harass, not to chase endlessly… just to know.

AIBU to think that sometimes, especially when things are left unexplained, it’s human to want closure - even if it means stepping slightly outside the “etiquette” box?

Christ, no. What a creepy, stalkery thing to do. At least they definitely made the absolutely right decision ghosting you. They should probably move house too.

No, because I’m not a psychopath nor a stalker
