31 and Ghosted!!!👻

Hey guys! I hope all is well. As for me, things haven’t been so great for me. Well, without further ado, here’s my story.

On August 3, 2017 I was at work and by the time 12 noon came, I was relieved to go to lunch. As I was making my way to the employee parking lot, I saw a car idling, and thought nothing of it until a man sitting on the passenger’s side lowered the window and said hello to me. Since where I live is a small town, I said hello back and proceeded towards my car. 5 seconds later, he got out, ran and continued talking to me. From there, we exchanged numbers and that was that.

Since then, we have been talking and our first outing was a walk in the park, since it was summertime. We’ve gotten to know each other more and more each day as the months rolled by until the middle of January.

I rarely heard from him anymore. Rarely responds to my texts and doesn’t stay on the phone with me.

The following contains the texts I sent to him and never responded:

On Valentines Day, he called me and asked if he can come by. I told him of course he can come. He never showed up. Then last week Monday evening, I took it upon myself to call him after work. I asked him what’s up with this ghosting, he told me that he went ghost on his friends and family and didn’t want to be bothered. Thursday morning, he was supposed to come to my place and once again, he never showed.

The whole entire time, I’m sitting at home conjuring up a whole bunch of things that would cause him to ghost me and I couldn’t find a thing.

I called up my cousin and we talked and talked for hours on end about my boyfriend and his behavior towards me. The thing is that he’s 50 and he behaves like this towards me?!? UNACCEPTABLE!

I cried and cried until I’ve gotten a nasty headache and could hardly breathe. Played sad songs on Pandora, curled up in bed and cried. I’d never thought in a million years I’d be ghosted by a man I’ve been with for 6 months.

I never knew what ghosted meant until I looked it up. For some of you who don’t know, ghosting is a word meaning when someone stops talking to the other without any proper reason or explanation.

I feel hurt, confused, sad, angry, foolish, everything rolled in one. I felt so bad and so low that I wanted to skip work yesterday (Saturday) and today. However, I took it upon myself to go to work anyway. I still don’t feel any better.
