Have you ever...

Yes. It stings a little. I knew it would happen; because people leave. I just hate the ghosting shite. But I understand to some extent - it's the easier, less messy and less vulnerable way out. They don't have to deal with your emotions (or face up to theirs perhaps?). It sucks. I'm sorry it happened.

A guy friend once told me f*ck off turned out he'd got a nutter gf who didn't like him talking to other women. The minute they argued he started contacting me again.

Yes, but then I realized that I was dealing with a shallow, uncaring, dysfunctional individual, and it was his problem, not mine.

Sounds like every friend I've ever had

Yeah its a normal reaction

Of course

Nope never happened to me. I have an excellent radar for using people.
The trick is to listen to your gut reaction. People no longer listen to their instincts in relationships, including friendships.

Absolutely.

Many times

Yes

Yes :o I worried that I wasn't interesting enough
