He texted you every morning and called you every night. Your days were bookended with his loving attention. Your nervous system was regulating in the presence of his open communication and emotional availability. And then one day, the texts and phone calls stopped — and when you reached out to check on him, he didn’t answer. You never heard from him again.

You took her out to dinner where it appeared she had a great time. She was shy, but sweet, and when you said you’d love to see her again, she said she’d like that, too. She let you kiss her on the cheek, and even looked back to wave before she got into her car and drove away. But when you texted later that night to reaffirm what a great time you’d had, she didn’t answer. You called her the next day and left an enthusiastic voicemail that she never answered.

You’ve never dated a man who was so excited to explore a relationship. You didn’t even know those kinds of men existed, after a lifetime of dating men who only wanted casual sex. He talked about marriage on the first date. By the second, he was sharing his dreams of the holidays in your future, the two of you raising his kids together in a picture of domestic bliss. You were so drunk on his passion and commitment that you jumped into bed with him and spent two weekends together in what felt like a sexual fugue state. Days later, he broke up with you, claiming he wasn’t actually looking for anything serious. He reiterated the same promise he’d been making from the start: that he would remain a supportive friend. Then he disappeared from your life.

Ifyou’ve dated at all in the past decade, you probably have experienced something like this. Or at the very least, you know the term for this type of behavior: ghosting.

And as accurate as the term is — describing someone abruptly disappearing from your life like a ghost — I feel that it falls short. It fails to communicate the cruelty of this kind of behavior, or the effect it has on the recipient. In fact, I find that the term carries a moral ambiguity that I find alarming, as if this behavior isn’t problematic.
