People who have ghosted before, why?

I’m just curious. I’ve never done it. But the sudden going great then boom next day ghosted make no sense to me. People who have ghosted someone before what was your reason?

Did you just lose interest ? Or was it something else

Guy im seeing relative died, no response for over a week ?

I’m 27F and he’s 29M been dating for several months so it’s still pretty new.

It was like overnight this happened. I’ve never had him go cold turkey and not hear from him at all. haven’t heard from him since last Monday so it’s been almost 2 weeks.

His grandma passed very quickly. Went into the hospital Thursday, hospice, and died on Monday. I’ve dealt with grief and very hard to handle people in my life passing especially last year.

I even told him about all that. He and I were legit on a date when he got the call and had to leave. Now I don’t wanna sound selfish I feel so bad for him. But I’ve just dealt with ghosting in the past so I have a bit of trauma from it. I texted him I’m so sorry get home safe that Monday. Let him be and then just sent a short don’t need to rush to reply to this text on Friday just thinking of you and if you need anything I’m here, sending love.

Is there anything else I should do? I don’t wanna come off selfish like oh is he ghosting me and sound immature.

But should I move on? Anyone have advice? I’m taking it I’m being ghosted which I am still shocked. I always am confused or a slow fade when that’s happened I see it coming. This is the first time where I’m like what ?!

First time I was shocked by being ghosted ?

I’m 27F and he’s 29M. Been dating for around 2 months now. He asked for us to be exclusive. Sleeping together. I’ve been ghosted so many times and lied too. He’s been cheated on in his last relationship so we both have some trust issues we have to work on.

I try to give everyone a fair chance, but I always think okay when’s this one gonna ghost me. Two months in his grandma landed in the hospital. He texted me at 4am that day bc our date was that day. I believed him bc I gained trust with him. He said I’ll let you know how things go. He did. Next day said she moved into hospice, and wants to see me Monday. And also Thursday as usual. He wanted to increase our times seeing each other now. I said great on the same page.

Normal talking nothing changed. Said he was excited to see me on his way, he missed me. He saw me Monday. Maybe around for 2 hours he got a call from his mom saying his grandma had a stroke, probably gonna die and to come home. He legit communicated all of this to me. So consistent even in times where I’d be like I understand if he wasn’t, but he was.

I text him please get there safe and I’m so sorry. No reply, but like no way would I expect one from a crisis.
Wait a couple of days, no word from him. I reached out saying no pressure to reply, thinking of you sending love I’m here if you need anything on Friday. No reply.

This point I’m like, is it grief or have I been tricked this time. I waited til Tuesday, I couldn’t believe it. I’ve been ghosted. I felt foolish texting him feeling bad in regards to his grandma. I ended up saying nicely at this point I haven’t heard from you, I’ve given space bc I feel bad given the situation but if something has changed between us let me know, I’d understand. NOTHING. So now it’s been almost 2 weeks no word.

I deleted all his info on my phone. He can reach me by text if he wanted too. I usually know when I’m getting ghosted, it’s either a slow fade or I’m confused. I felt so at ease here, he acted how my ex did when we first started dating so I felt safe knowing where this was going.

There’s no way within two hours he said yea no I’m no longer interested. So I can’t figure out the why. I keep thinking am I being selfish? He just lost his grandmother. But two weeks of no even I’m alive text.

I can’t figure out his reason. Doesn’t wanna show emotion? Doesn’t want me to see him like this? I’ve dealt with that by men before. I just can’t figure it out.

I haven’t heard from him in over a week since his relative passed ?

I’m 27F and he’s 29M been dating for 3 months so it’s still pretty new.

I just don’t know how to not spiral by not hearing from him ? I know he has a lot on his plate. But I can’t help thinking after 8 days of no response he’s changed his mind about me

No word from him in a week since his grandma died ?

27F and 29M been dating for little over a month now. His grandma recently was in the hospital last week and then put into hospice and managed to pass away on our last date he had to rush home. He texted me he’s sorry let me know what’s going on and no word since Monday. I’ve been ghosted a lot so I know this situation is a different situation but before this, he asked to see me twice a week now not just once a week, and to be exclusive.

I know everyone grieves different. I lost important people in my life last year actually. But now my head is spinning like ok I’m being ghosted. I only texted him I’m sorry etc get home safe when Monday happened when I saw him. Then Friday I sent a don’t have to reply to this but thinking of u etc let me know if u need anything text.

How do I handle this? I will give him space but like I said after so much love bombing and ghosting from other guys I’m just like ok he’s gone. I’m ghosted
