Fuck “Ghosting” This is Much Worse!
I actually prefer ghosting as there is an abundance of stories I can make up within my head as to why this person vanished.
It then becomes more of a reflection of them as a person instead of me. Then, I walk along merrily and move on with my life, which is like a disappearing coin trick — I’m richer in self-respect when they’re gone.
But the slow fade, on the other hand.
IMO — Way worse!
SO MUCH WORSE.
The slow fade is terrible cause it’s such a sneaky coward-like deceptive bitch-ass performance by someone who really wants to end a relationship without revealing their decision and just being honest. It’s a way they can somehow avoid being the “bad guy” whilst also using the excuse of “just drifting apart.”
I swear to god it’s like breaking up on a Klarna plan— small payments of indifference, hoping to avoid the actual cost of honesty.
They almost see it as a nice, kind little gesture to let you down easily. They think their lil magicians pulling a disappearing act, leaving you baffled and wondering where they went, while they’re smirking backstage, convinced they’ve pulled off the greatest escape in dating history.
Fucking Wankers.
