Romantic partners have, since the beginning of time, decided to leave a relationship without any explanation to the person they’ve abandoned. The term “As universal as the experience might be, however, the rise of social media has raised the possibility of harm from ghosting to new levels. With technology, you know that you are always potentially connected by invisible electronic forms of communication to the partner who’s left you. The person who decides to end things doesn’t have to traverse miles of countryside to see you in person, as might happen in a Victorian novel, nor are there even the long delays of snail mail to end things with you in a civilized and respectful manner. Instead, they can just cut off those electronic entanglements without a second thought.
Another point the St. Mary’s led research team makes is that there are times when the former ghostee becomes the ghoster. Think about whether you’ve ever been on the distribution end of the ghosting process.
Forty-four participants wrote about being a ghoster, and 36 as the ghostee. Their task was to think about the first time they ghosted someone and the first time they were ghosted and then to write a narrative about this specific occasion, guided by these questions.
