There's ghosting...and then there's ghosting.

No one likes being ghosted. But this definitely takes the cake. 

A man writes in to a job advice blogger asking for help with an unusual situation - the woman he ghosted is about to become his boss! Awkward. 

Here's how he describes it:

"I have been an expat since graduating and have been moving a lot. More than a decade ago, when I was still young, I was in a relationship with a woman, Sylvia, in a country where we both lived. Sylvia wanted to settle down but I was not ready to commit so young. We clearly had different expectations from the relationship. I did not know what to do and, well, I ghosted her. Over the Christmas break, while she was visiting her family, I simply moved out and left the country. I took advantage of the fact that I accepted a job in other country and did not tell her about it. I simply wanted to avoid being untangled in a break-up drama. Sylvia was rather emotional and became obsessed with the relationship, tracking me down, even causing various scenes with my parents and friends."

Okay, so that would be awkward, sure. But then here's what he left out, only added as an afterthought in response to a question from the columnist:  he'd been living with her for two years, and in a relationship for 3. 

Mind. Blown.
