Love & Dating Why millennials are ghosting their way out of relationships

When someone ghosts, they quietly fade away from the life of someone they had a relationship with.

You’ll probably never understand how lucky you are if a partner breaks up with you through a face-to-face conversation.

Sounds crazy that anyone should feel lucky for getting dumped, but then, people get dumped through a single, short text message and even worse, without any form of contact - no calls, no texts and of course, no face-to-face conversation to ‘formally’ end the relationship.

This is known as ghosting and it is an act becoming more rampant among millennials.

When someone ghosts, they quietly disappear; wordlessly fade away from the life of someone they had a relationship with.

Breakups are terrible and the hurt they bring often cuts really deep but closure somehow helps the healing process.

With closure, the heartbroken gets a clear picture that the relationship is ending and why.
