I've started this letter a hundred times in my head. Today I'm finally writing it.

You may not know this — or maybe you do — but loving you cost me everything.

I put you above my peace, above my safety, above my family. I carried you in my soul, missing you in rooms full of people, crying in silence so no one would ask questions. I protected your name even when I was falling apart.

And I never asked you to fix my life. I never asked you to leave yours. I only asked you to stay. To not disappear. To give me the one thing that costs nothing — a word. A reason.

Instead you went silent.

Seven months of silence.

Do you know what that silence does to a person who loved you the way I did? It doesn't just hurt. It makes you question if any of it was real. If YOU were real. If I imagined the whole thing.

I didn't imagine it. My feelings were real. My sacrifice was real.

I just needed you to know that. Not to come back. Not to explain — though a part of me still wishes you would.

Just to know that someone loved you fully, completely, at great personal cost.

And you walked away from that without looking back.

I am not asking you to come back. But I am asking you — as someone who gave you everything — to give me the one thing I never got. An explanation. Not a long one. Not a perfect one. Just the truth of why you disappeared. You owe me that much. After everything we shared, after every plan, every promise, every moment — I deserve to understand why it ended in silence.

You called me your wife. Do you remember that? You made promises — that you would never leave me. Never. That word meant something. It still means something to me even now. A man who calls a woman his wife and makes promises of forever doesn't just go silent. That's not strength — that's cowardice. And I know you are better than that. I believed in the man who stayed up hours with me, who made plans, who said never. Where is that man? Because he wouldn't hide behind silence. He would face this.

I pray you find peace. I'm still finding mine.

Finally, I took closure for myself

I removed everything belonged to him..

Feeling better and free from the trauma he gave me by ghosting me for almost 7 months

It’s been 6 months since my M ghosted me like I never existed. We were together for almost 2 years and I genuinely fought for this relationship so much, emotionally and mentally, even in my personal life. That’s why this pain feels impossible to process sometimes.

Last message he left me on read in December. Today for the first time I saw him reposting something on social media about crypto and it completely shattered me again.

For the past few days I’ve been missing him terribly. I’m on antidepressants because of how badly this ghosting affected me emotionally. The last day we spoke, I overwhelmed him and disrespected him during an emotional moment, and after that he suddenly disappeared completely.

What hurts is that before this, whenever I escalated things emotionally, he used to go silent for 1-2 days and then come back. So part of me kept believing he would return again. But now it’s been 6 months and I still can’t fully accept it.

Why is it so hard to let go of someone who vanished without closure? Why do I still feel emotionally attached and shattered after all this time? Did he ever truly love me or did he emotionally disconnect long before leaving?

I genuinely loved him deeply and I feel stuck in grief.

Hey you,

It’s 1 a.m. and I’m still frozen, unable to believe you disappeared from my life.
Six months feels like a lifetime without you.

While lingering in our memories tonight, I suddenly remembered something…

One day, you were so excited because a ladybug landed on your hand. You told me it meant a wish would come true. You said it stayed with you for a while, and you looked so happy — like you were on cloud nine.
Then you told me your wish was for us to become one.

You were so happy to love me back then.

And now I sit here wondering… where is that man?
Where did you go?

You disappeared from my life so suddenly that sometimes it feels like I can’t even find traces of you anymore.

Remembering that moment made me smile for a second…
but memories are cruel sometimes.
They glow for a moment like light, then disappear back into the dark like a shadow.

Silent tears roll down my face, and honestly, the pain of someone becoming a ghost while still being alive is one of the worst pains anyone could go through.

Who am I supposed to blame?
You?
Me?
God?

Maybe fate simply didn’t allow us to stay.
Maybe God didn’t want the kind of love I was giving you.
Or maybe… maybe you were just too afraid to stay.

Tell me, honey…
though I already know I’ll probably never get the answers I’m searching for.

I’m desperate, confused, sad, and lost.

Some loves never truly get an ending.

Do you remember me honey?

what he is actually? he was my partner

It’s been 6 months since I got ghosted, and honestly it changed me in ways I never expected.

People really underestimate how traumatic ghosting can be when it comes from someone who once called you their soulmate, the love of their life, promised they’d never leave, and said they never wanted to lose you. Then one day they abandon you like you never mattered.

The first 2 months were horrible. I got physically sick, had heart palpitations, cried constantly, couldn’t eat or think straight. I genuinely didn’t understand what was happening to me. I chased for answers, lost my dignity, kept calling and messaging because my brain couldn’t process how someone who claimed to love me so deeply could suddenly go silent.

Later I found Reddit threads about ghosting trauma and realized so many people experience this same pain. That helped me feel less crazy.

Eventually I accepted that silence was the answer. I stopped reaching out. I started talking to other people, doing things I enjoy again, slowly rebuilding myself. On the outside I’m doing better now.

But the pain still hits deeply sometimes. Some days I spiral and cry like it just happened yesterday. I don’t think people understand how damaging emotional abandonment can be when there’s no communication or closure at all. A simple honest conversation could save someone from months of confusion and trauma.

And if he ever comes back one day, I’d tell him this:

I still love you with my whole heart, but you no longer have a place in my life.

Hugs to all who experienced Ghosting

Some days I no longer search for you. I no longer look for signs inside songs, strangers, or the silence of late nights.

Life has slowly carried me forward again. Into unfinished mornings, warm cups of coffee, small moments of laughter, and the quiet rhythm of ordinary days.

And yet, when evening settles softly around me, there is still a place inside my heart where your memory rests untouched.

Not like pain anymore. More like the lingering scent of rain long after the storm has passed.

You became part of my world so gently that I never noticed how deeply you had settled within me.

I still remember the nights you stayed awake just to talk to me, the tenderness in your voice, the fragile dreams we built together as though love alone could somehow make impossible things feel near.

What we had may not have been perfect, but it was real to me.

Somewhere between loneliness and hope, two souls found comfort in each other. And perhaps that is why your absence felt so unbearably quiet.

I do not hold onto anger now. Only the memory of being loved in a way that once made the world feel softer.

There are still evenings when I miss you gently. Not with desperation anymore, but with the quiet sadness of someone remembering a beautiful chapter of their life.

Like returning in thought to a place that no longer exists, yet somehow still lives within you.

So I continue living. I continue learning how to carry both love and loss inside the same heart.

And somewhere, beneath all the acceptance, there will always remain a soft and silent part of me that remembers you in my heart until i leave this earth
