Can someone who truly loves u leave u without saying... a word ? 🤔

I don't believe in this you guys. Regardless of what kind of a relationship you have with someone. It doesn't matter if it is on SW or in real life. If you spent a lot of time with someone and energy...you can't say that you truly loved them after leaving them without saying a single word. No way. Your thoughts. Comments.
SW-User Best Comment
Sometimes they have heavy burdens in their lifes and aren't good expressing themselves, or are stupid and childish. But that doesn't mean they don't love you.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@SW-User yes yes.....thats true for some x
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@RubySoo So it's the issue of them using you and coming to a realization that they did. And the burden of them confronting you is too much to bear. So they run instead.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@Zonuss maybe in some instances. Ive never said this happened to me tho.

If they run...id never know their reason..would i?

SW-User
My bf on SW left me without saying a word after 9 months. While I believed he loved me, I don't believe it now.
SW-User
@karysma I haven't put my life on hold cuz I know that's not the answer. But I can't go on with someone else while I'm still so emotional. I think I just need some time to myself to get myself straightened out. I don't know how long that might take.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User In your loneliness you will find the answers and the strength you need to go on. But trust me once you meet that special someone then he won't matter anymore.
Dusty101 · F
@SW-User 🤗
Viper · M
No, if you truly love someone, then you won't leave them with absolutely nothing, unless you have no other choice.

But at minimum, you'd explain that choice to them.
SW-User
@Viper but I don't wanna be treated like a queen. I just wanna be treated normal.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Yes.
Viper · M
@SW-User But I was being a bit of a smart ass with the Queen comment, so I was treating you quite normal 😏
SW-User
If there is no love it's easy. If it's real love then no. At least I couldn't.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Thank you friend.
SW-User
@Zonuss You are welcome friend. 🤗
abooklover · 56-60, F
My last significant other, of 5 YEARS, mind you, did exactly this. Negated every good thing that ever happened. That's not love, it's cowardice.
abooklover · 56-60, F
@SW-User completely. We were planning to marry. Thankfully we didn't.
SW-User
@abooklover So sad. Sounds like something a sociopath would do
abooklover · 56-60, F
@SW-User seriously screwed up man.
CCMorgan · 51-55, M
There are two sides to every story... if you're only hearing one, then you really don't know unless this happened to you personally. Some people really just won't believe the answer you give them, and keep coming back for more reasons. If the person was a narcissist, then you will never win.

"Hard to win an argument with a smart person, damn near impossible with one who is not," <-- I never forgot that when I read it, but not sure where the quote comes from. I use it in the work place often!
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@CCMorgan Some people are like said before too afraid. Some are selfish. Some people leave that way because they feel like perhaps it never was to begin with. But the raw truth is that it was very real.
Viper · M
@CCMorgan That's true, you're only hearing one side, but if they're okay and just disappear without a good reason, then they're also giving up the right to tell their side of the story.

And especially if they come back and just refuse to say why.
CCMorgan · 51-55, M
I would say that if they leave then they were never okay... something was always definitely wrong for that to happen, unless they truly were narcissistic... which still makes them wrong.

If they come back pretending otherwise (with that person) then they definitely have a screw loose...
ArnoldJRimmer · 56-60, M
I guess they have their reasons.

I dont believe anyone who says they love anyone. I find that people can be fond of someone as long as it fills a need they have but when that need isnt relevant then they are gone. Often they dont want to be "mean" so its easier to vanish than to tell another that they were not important
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@ArnoldJRimmer Filling a need for a certain length of time.
ArnoldJRimmer · 56-60, M
Its fair enough. I hope i gave what was needed. I dont blame those who go but i do feel bitter at times.
I dont want it to happen again tho.
SW-User
I thought a little bit more about this... no matter what you say some people are hell bound to take it wrong, they are eager to assign blame and no matter how prettily you try to say goodbye they're going to get angry with you.
Humans are not simple they are messy, complicated, and passionate.
Some people are so damaged I don't want to judge them.
They just can't do it.
I have given my explanations to them and then I have blocked them from my life, because they are not kind and I know they will just continue to argue the point and not let it go,because it's so much more important for them to be right than to see another person's point of view.
Every single time it hurts like hell ,like something's being ripped from my body ,because I have loved them, but I see now that they did not love me, they were just using me.
I ain't about to sit there and be plummeted over and over again by their unkindness if it makes me weak so be it.
But, I will argue that I am strong.
It takes a whole hell of a lot of guts to walk away when you're in love.
I too, believe it is better if you give at least some kind of explanation, but that doesn't guarantee the other person is going to be very receptive, kind, or even try to listen to a word you say.
Preconceived ideas and biases are really hard to fight.
Be nice if breakups could be wrapped up in a nice little bows and everybody goes away as a better person...
May even happen from time to time ,hasn't been my experience, but I'm willing to believe that it does happen in some cases.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Never let someone take advantage of you under any circumstances.
SW-User
@Zonuss It is never meant and they don't give you warning many times...everyone does the best they can and hopes.
And hopefully learns...but again humans are complicated
SW-User
@Zonuss isn't love a vulnerability in itself?
Who says take advantage of me please?
And if you're too rigid and on your guard all the time can't see that as being a good formula for love...
VioletRayne · 31-35, F
[c=#4C0073]Yes, because the love of self should always come first. Sometimes you have to leave to preserve yourself. Sometimes you can’t say anything because you know they’ll ask you to stay and you know it would stop you. [/c]
VioletRayne · 31-35, F
@SW-User [c=#4C0073]it maybe selfish but sometimes you have to take care of yourself first. [/c]
SW-User
@VioletRayne I guess. Can't see myself doing it
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Me either.
SW-User
Truly loves you? Nope. That is selfish self centered love. More like a narcissist
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Yes. Someone who gained your affection and attention in a selfish and subtle way.
SW-User
@Zonuss Ghosting is the cowards way out and is happening more an more on social media an dating sites
SW-User
I didn't love my ex anymore but I said a proper goodbye.I did want to give him some closure.It didn't mattee if he hurt me or not.We left on a good note.
Some people are very bad at expressing it or just are afraid.Or maybe their immature.
I think its best to try to think of it that way so at least you can find a way to be understanding.

I find that being understanding eases the pain.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Understanding.
SW-User
@SW-User And I think it helped me move on because there was less bitter feelings.I wasnt angry afterwards at all.
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
I don't know an answer of that. I really don't know.
Actually I would say there can't be true love or friendship when someone disappears suddenly without saying a word.
On the other site: Who knows the reason? 🥺
I really can't say.
I just know that this experience has really broken me. :-(
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Loretta78 Hugs. 🙂
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
@Zonuss Thanks. 😐️
RubySoo · 56-60, F
I know i couldnt do that.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@RubySoo 🙂. So true.
kodiac · 22-25, M
Sometimes your the worst thing in their life ,you see it but they don't . If you do love them leaving is the best way .
SW-User
@kodiac in their eyes they make you a favor, but regardless, honesty will be better. I see a lot of selfishness even if it's for the best. People need to be more honest.. Sadly not everyone is able to face the other or their own fears and insecurities
kodiac · 22-25, M
@SW-User Yes, i loved her but she was too good for someone like me and if i tried to explain i know i would have stayed and kept taking advantage of her love.I didn't ghost because i didn't want to stay i did it because i loved her enough to know she deserved better.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@kodiac i get that x
Hopelessromantic45 · 51-55, F
I agree he never loved me

I could think of many reasons. Sometimes when you love someone you make a decision based on what you believe they need as opposed to what they want.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Some people are not really good at pursuing what they need. We are often quite distracted by what we want. Sometimes what we want isn't always good for us.
SW-User
@Zonuss, Exactly.
Dusty101 · F
I have never done that but it was done to me... I was living in Hoboken nj..in 1991..
We loved each other. (so I thought) I loved him. He went to the gulf to be a photographer.
He promised he'd contact me when he got to Hoboken again.. He did. I was leaving for Dublin and he promised he'd follow me over.. I never heard from him.
So he never loved me.
He was in Dublin. I bumped into him in a pub.. He didn't know what to say.. I left.
Never heard from him again until 2 years ago. He truly messed me up!
Viper · M
@Dusty101 sorry to hear that
Dusty101 · F
@Viper thank you.. However it made me more aware of what I wanted..
Freedom!
I embraced it and fooked off to Switzerland to enjoy myself.. No regrets... Nothing held me back!
Viper · M
@Dusty101 awesome :)
LarrysReflections · 61-69, M
I did that once with an online friend. I regret doing that and will never do it again. I will communicate my intentions with those I know.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy True love does not work that way. So many people are caught up in the illusion or idea of love. What ya think boss man
If that’s someone’s idea of love...... hate to see how they treat people they don’t like. @Zonuss
SW-User
I did it myself, but only because it was the last resort to ever sever the bond as all others had failed. Many years later, I still wonder about him and hope he's happy. It was painful and not something I'm happy that I had to do but I did love him.
SW-User
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Thanks.
Sometimes, you know in your heart it's over and its easier to leave quietly... I can't explain it more than that but I understand her...
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Somewhereovertherainbow I think people who do that are scared people. I've been confronted by women in my past relationships years later because there was still some unresolved inner issue going on there. So to have closure is the right way to do things and it's mature. You don't want people to do you that way. So don't do that to them.
@Zonuss everyone is different, different circumstances... I can't speak for others but I understand why some people do what they do... sorry .
Magenta · F
I couldn't. To me that is not the behavior of someone who truly loves you. It's highly painful. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
Well.. I don't know.. women are particularly prone to avoiding confrontation and not wanting to hurt them.. So maybe a woman could love a man.. but just leave without saying anything.. because she doesn't want to hurt him.. or doesn't want to cause a scene.. I can be a coward.. When I wanted to leave someone... I just generally disappeared.. I didn't want to talk to hem.. to explain.. I preferred not to hurt them...
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Adaydreambeliever But it hurts worse when you leave them without saying a word
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
@Zonuss maybe.. but what if I loved them and knew they didn't love me? That would meet your criteria.. how can you love someone but walk away...
If saying goodbye would put them in danger they might leave without saying a word.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@midnightrose No. That's not what I'm talking about here.
@Zonuss While I don't think those actions say "I love you", they may have their reasons for leaving without a goodbye. Maybe it would be too difficult for them to say, maybe they thought you'd try to talk them out of it, or maybe they got caught up in a situation where they couldn't. You just don't know. But I do know having somebody just leave doesn't feel good. Unless and until they come back and explain, you probably won't feel they ever loved you.
ryoshi0915 · 26-30, F
Some people think they look cool that way. Too much movies, I should say. 🤭
SW-User
@ryoshi0915 lol. Sitting on their own pedestal, a high opinion of themselves. They have nowhere to go but down
SW-User
if leaving is the best option to them ?
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Then why not be an adult and say goodbye
SW-User
@Zonuss They have their reasons and they must be a huge coward too
Hopelessromantic45 · 51-55, F
Totally agree with you
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
karysma · 31-35, F
Maybe he has his reasons
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@karysma Not with her. No.
karysma · 31-35, F
@Zonuss Ok
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
@Zonuss 😆
SW-User
The words matter, too.
SW-User
There are words better left unsaid. Perhaps it's their coping mechanism from extreme pain. If you felt the love before the person left, you must respect the silent exit.
SW-User
Sure why not? People can be so disappointing I find.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Some are. Some are not.

Zonuss · 41-45, M
@BlueClapTrap I can understand that part. But there comes a time where you have to come to a resolve with that person. Some closure. That is way better than saying nothing at all.
Peaches · F
I agree with what you said here.😶
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Peaches Thank you Peaches. It takes a very adult person to speak up and speak out.

@yeronlyman I disagree, even if it was the case ill tell them directly to their face... It's over for these reasons.
What do I have to lose? If they are deceiving me, more reason to say goodbye in an upfront way... Just saying 💫😬
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@yeronlyman Sometimes the circumstances of our lives change the Dynamics of relationships...
