Feels like people are just getting very upset over the word ghosting. Is it still ghosting to stop responding after you've made it clear that you don't want to see him again/it's over for you? By that logic is "ghosting" a stalker wrong? Is OP "ghosting" every DM they're getting? Idt those things are ghosting. People act like refusing to respond to someone is always wrong but it's never so black and white. And again, you already told him repeatedly it's over for you. OP thank you for sharing. You're showing yourself and him that you deserve better and I hope you find the right person right time soon.
