I read threads on here all the time where someone gets ghosted and are desperately grasping for reasons as to why. Like they had an accident or were ill or broke their phone and I always think, come off it, they just lost interest.

Well I have been having a chat, but of flirting with someone for a couple of weeks. Haven't made plans to meet because of Coronavirus.

All went quiet yesterday and today. Ghosted I thought. But we have a mutual friend on Facebook and the friend put an RIP message about the guy. I clicked on his page and the bloke passed away in his sleep. So young too.

It feels strange because obviously I didn't really know him but I still feel sad. And actually shocked. I don't know what to feel. Gutted for his family and children.

I guess I won't be so quick to write off those threads in future. Sometime there is a reason, the worst reason.

Sorry - I know how shocking it is. Flowers

Six months ago I tried to look up an old colleague/FWB from 15 years ago. I found his obituary. He had committed suicide about 8 years ago. I can't stop thinking about the poor bastard.

@opticaldelusion
I'm so sorry to hear that. That exact same thing happened to my mum when she was 44, my dad went out to work one morning, seemingly perfectly healthy - then took a massive heart attack.
Flowers for you.
