I appreciate you being honest about how you feel. For me, that's been an issue that I find with ghosters. They can't admit to themselves how they really feel and rather than confront it think ghosting is a better option. Clearly it's not, makes them look bad every time. Personally, once I've been ghosted I also do not try to communicate with the person. They've made it clear they are no longer wanting to continue any kind of interaction and I know I don't need to say anything for that person to know they did something shitty.

Your'e also right about some people trying to defend ghosting saying things like you don't owe anyone an explanation for what you do. Yeah, perhaps a total stranger but not when you know and have been spending time with someone. In this case ghosting is the coward's way out, and like I said before, they know it.
