"I've been getting close to a man for the past year and a half, and the other day we had a big blow-up. I didn't like the lax way that he was responding to me, and I wrote him a note saying as much. He got angry and accused me of speaking to him like he was my child. When I attempted to address the issue at hand namely, his unresponsiveness he got madder."
"Whatever his rationale, this man has made it clear to you that he is done. For him, the relationship is over. Stand down. Do not humiliate yourself by attempting to reconnect with him. Who knows why he reacted so intensely? Sometimes you don't get an answer when it comes to people's behavior, but his message couldn't be clearer: He doesn't want to talk to you, interact with you or be with you. I'm sorry, but you need to accept this and walk away."
"I was going through my phone recently and came upon some audio recordings of her talking about her life. Her voice sounds weak, but it was so nice hearing her tell her stories. It was bittersweet, though, as listening to her reminds me of the fact that I can't hug her or talk to her anymore. Still, I loved hearing her voice."
A person reports being ghosted after confronting a man about his unresponsiveness; the man blocked, removed shared access and stopped all contact. The recommended course is to accept that he has ended the relationship, do not attempt to reconnect, avoid humiliation, and walk away. Another person, recently bereaved, discovered audio recordings of her mother's voice and felt bittersweet comfort hearing her tell life stories despite the inability to hug or speak with her anymore. She wants to share the recordings with siblings but worries about provoking intense emotions and asks how to proceed thoughtfully.
