Why did they ghost me? navigating this complicated breakup

Author

I'm not sure where I am in thr grief/healing process. I don't really think it's set yet on where im at.

brief explanation with limited details:

They slowly stopped talking to me daily, weekly.

Suddenly they told me they were stressed and needed a break. I said okay and asked for details like are we supposed to go date other people?

They refused to give me a response. I asked 2 other times about the same subject.

Then they blocked me on everything after saying "cant you stop breathing down my f*in neck".

So here I am.. Either not contacting them or waiting I'm not sure. But I'll move forward and focus on myself until they've figured it out.

Maybe if they are lucky I'll still be available physically and emotionally.

ou’re left trying to decode what’s even happening. i had someone slowly fade me out too, less calls, less texts, until one day i realized i was the only one still trying to hold the connection together. that “breathing down my neck” comment would’ve broken me honestly.

honestly it did break me. That was just before they blocked me on everything. The only thing I asked them was "what are we? Are we dating other people?" and gone.

i think you already know deep down that blocking you after refusing to answer basic questions IS an answer.

I suppose it is.. The only thing they gave me before this was they wanted a break. It's my only relationship this has happened..I do think I lost her and I was very close to her. It really does hurt.. And honestly I need closure for myself to heal properly but I'm not sure I'll get it.

do you actually miss who they were before all this happened, or are you mostly holding onto the version of them from before the distance started?

I actually miss them. when they weren't being distant we were close and giggly laughing all the time and got along so well. She'd go quiet when she wanted space and I didn't understand this.

So I'd bother her and then she'd go quiet longer. Until finally she just blocked me recently.. I don't even know if we're broken up.. But I'll assume we are..

Sounds bad. Don't keep your life on hold for them.

my plan is to keep moving forward and focus on myself. I won't keep myself on hold.. But I do think if there was a chance or they gave me hope id probably fold. That's why I came here. So I could have some distractions and realization as to where im at and where I am going.
