I got ghosted

I had been seeing somebody for 6 months things seemed to be going great. until 4 months ago, he blocked me on everything. A few weeks ago he made a new account on Snapchat to message me and asked to meet him. I replied with a question mark as it was really unexpected. He read my message ignored it and never replied back to me, I noticed he had unblocked me on Facebook last week so I sent him a friend request and he blocked me.

I really don't understand why he ignored me out of no where, reached out after months and then ignored me and blocked me. Has anyone else been in a similar situation please

He was probably horny and thought he'd test the waters to see if you were available. Then the feeling passed. Stop wasting time and headspace on this feckless waste of space when he treated you so badly and with so little respect! Who cares why he ignored you then blocked you - its not worth the mental energy. Clear your head, reset your standards and move on! I'd block him so if the urge came over him again he'd hit a brick wall and not be able to disturb you again.

The first reply has nailed it.

That is awful but decide right now you've given him enough of your energy and certainly won't be wasting anymore trying to figure out his motives or launch an investigation.

Up until the ghosting you didn't know what he was like but you do now so seize this opportunity to remind yourself you have high standards and don't entertain people who don't meet them.

It's his shortcomings that made him behave like this, nothing to do with you.

You posted about this last week and showed his name?

To ghost you after a 6 month relationship that appeared to be going well is an incredibly shitty thing to do. He's shown himself to be extremely callous, untrustworthy and cowardly. Any one of those qualities would be bad enough, but his actions show all three. Don't waste any more of your time or headspace on this piece of shit.

For now I've just deleted my social media's, I did really like him and it has made me reflect a lot of who I let into my life and my energy. Thank-you, I really do need to move on, he messed with my head told me he loved me and then disappeared. But like you said he isn't worth my peace

The story sounds identical. Apologies if I was wrong.

That is really what I did not understand, everything seemed to be going great he was always so kind and polite and then he disappeared like nothing had ever happened

I’m sorry he ghosted you, especially when you were happg and it was going well. I think he’s messaged out the blue for a one night stand. sorry but he wasn’t interested in more.

Don’t delete your social media, just try move on from him. If he pops up again then block him and try your best to focus on you!

I had an ex that had form for this and I'd always put up with it and meet when he came back because I was excited about seeing him again. I'd always try to figure him out but in the end I couldn't be arsed anymore. Who knows his reasons? I just put him behind me and went on to meet someone who treated me better.

YogiBearAndBooboo · 19/07/2023 13:02

Why on earth did you forgive him for the first ghosting and send a friend request?
Women need to stop being doormats for men like this. Never let him contact you again.
