Has anyone experience ghosting from a long term partner? After 4 years… no explanation..It is like he made the decision to do that vs. confronting the issue. Not heart broken. Just a fwb. Wondering how and why this behavior has been normalized.

  1. Like just out of a blue? I would get if you two broke up then, but just instantly after 4 years that’s a bit odd.

  2. Out of blue. Yup…. I have bf (poly). This guy wasnt a main partner but we were still consistent. And he decided to cut me off lol. Its really odd. Yea..and I think hes single.

  3. A couple ideas come to mind.
    He’s having an existential crisis/life reevaluation.
    He’s dead.
    He’s not considerate.

    The idea of casually leaving a relationship of 4 years seems less likely to me than the other two options, but you’d be the best judge to guess what’s going on.

    Separately, ghosting isn’t really a man or woman thing. It’s a “I don’t want to have a difficult conversation that won’t benefit me” sort of thing.
    Many people who don’t see a relationship going anywhere see no reason to expend effort, or risk emotional/physical violence on something that they see as unfixable.
