27 People Who Were Ghosted And Abandoned By Their Long-Term Partners With Absolutely No Warning Whatsoever
We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community who have ever been ghosted by a long-term partner to share their stories. Here's what people revealed:
1."Back in 2014, when I was 24, I reconnected with an old friend from high school. He was visiting from Texas over the holidays. We spent every day together and then started a long-distance relationship. Every few weeks for six months, we would visit each other. He asked me if I would move to Texas and give our relationship a real shot. He told me he loved me. It felt like love at the time, so I applied for a few jobs. We planned my visit; he would pick me up from the airport and take me to my interviews. After my interviews, we were going to look for apartments, etc. The last time I talked to him was before I boarded my plane. I was so excited. After I landed, he didn't respond to my calls or texts. I waited for hours, then got a taxi and a hotel. I was worried, to say the least. I called his sister, and she said he was fine and that she just talked to him."
"The next morning, I went to the job interview and got the position on the spot. I declined. He finally texted me after 24 hours and said, 'I'm sorry, I can't do this,' and then blocked me. I was heartbroken. I decided to make the most of my trip and go home. Four years later, he called me and apologized. We started talking again every day as friends. He then came out and said he made a huge mistake and wanted to be with me. No sooner, his wife messaged me. I had no idea he was married! So then, I ghosted him."

2."My boyfriend ghosted me after over a year together. My cat had passed unexpectedly, and I needed a shoulder to cry on and comfort from my partner. He took all day to call me when he said he would a lot earlier, so by the time he did, I was mostly quiet and still distraught over my beloved pet. He started a fight, saying it wasn't fair that I was quiet and short and that he didn't deserve this treatment from me. He then proceeded to hang up on me. I called to apologize, only to have him hang up again, and then I never heard from him. He ignored all my texts and phone calls and ghosted me like I never even existed."

3."We had been living together for a couple of years when he lost his job. He decided to take a solo camping trip to clear his mind. He was supposed to be gone for a week but never returned. A month later, a mutual friend told me he had moved to another state. He left me with all his stuff and HIS DOG."

4."I was ghosted by the man I was in a relationship with for almost 10 years. We bought a home together, and when we sold it, we decided to move and buy another house. We moved to a southern town and bought another house. I was a loan officer, and then the big crash happened, so my company closed down. I had to find another job. He also lost his job at the time, so he informed me that he would be going back to our hometown to do some work with a friend. I reluctantly agreed, and he left. We talked constantly on the phone, and then it all stopped. Suddenly, there was no contact at all, and I didn't hear from or see him for five years. Come to find out, he went there to be with his old girlfriend, and they had married."

5."I (34M) met a girl in my first year of college, and we hit it off immediately. We dated throughout college, moved in together after graduation, and even got engaged. I felt incredibly lucky to have her and was sure we had a future together. But as we got closer to the date, we began fighting more frequently, but I chalked it up to the stress of planning our wedding. Then, on the day of our wedding, everything fell apart. I stood at the altar, waiting for her, only to be told by her sister that she wasn't coming. It turned out she had been cheating on me with my boss for a whole year. I was devastated. I tried reaching out to her, but she had blocked me on every platform imaginable. She changed the locks so I couldn't get in our house. I quit my job to avoid being fired by her new boyfriend, my boss, and I had to start over completely from scratch."
"Months later, I bumped into her and my former boss at a restaurant. She wouldn't even acknowledge me, let alone speak to me. I was left with so many questions. Why did she stay with me when she was clearly unhappy? What finally made her end things? There was no closure, and it killed me.
But life moved on. Five years later, I found the love of my life, my now wife, and had just proposed to her when we ran into my ex at a party. It would have been so satisfying to ignore her existence the way she had ignored mine, but my amazing wife has always been more intelligent than me. When my ex approached us, my wife was warm and welcoming, acting unperturbed by my ex's past actions. My ex had no idea how to handle that and left, clearly more bothered than she ever would have been by the cold shoulder. I had no idea how much closure that act would give me."

6."A year and a half into the relationship, he started ignoring my messages. He'd say we would hang out later, and then he wouldn't get back to me. He promised to spend the holidays with my family and then made excuses for that, too. He also skipped a New Year's party I held. When I finally reached him, he said he had to think about things but refused to talk with me. A few days later, he woke me up with a text (!!) before the sun was even up, deciding we were done. I've always wondered if this was because I had found a tumor, and he didn't want to deal with emotionally supporting me. Thankfully, it was benign…not that he stuck around to learn this."
7."I was dating a guy for five years before I came out as lesbian and started dating a woman. He became my best friend while she and I raised her son together for six years. She and I broke up amicably, but then I noticed she stopped responding to me. I was still hanging out with my ex-boyfriend/best friend until he suddenly stopped responding to me. I found out three years later via the internet that they had married and had a baby. My entire family knew about this but never told me. Two people ghosted me at the same time."
8."We were together for over six years and had moved in together a few months into the relationship. We always talked about getting married and starting a family together. One morning, we talked and planned for intimacy and quality time together later that evening. That was the last time I saw her. I came home to a text that she was helping a friend in an emergency. For a week, we only texted, and she refused to talk on the phone. At the end of the week, she called to break up and wouldn't tell me where she went. A month later, all her stuff is still at my house, and she's given no date for when she's coming back for it. I've been able to reflect on our issues, so I refuse to have a victim mentality. But talk about being ghosted and blindsided."

9."I dated a girl about 12 or 13 years ago for a year and a half. We lived in the same city for the first half of our relationship, so it was good. Then, she moved about an hour and a half away for a job. She still came home quite a bit, so we still talked. Then, the excuses started. 'My phone died.' 'I didn't have good service.' 'I canceled my phone plan to save money, so I can only text on Wi-Fi.' I was young and dumb. This went on for a few months. I don't believe in breaking up over the phone, so I had to wait until the next time she was in town to break it off. By then, I considered myself single and stopped trying since she clearly wasn't. Not much changed in my daily life when we did break up, but I was finally free to start pursuing other women."
10."I (28F) was dating my partner (28M) for a year and a half. Everything seemed to be going fine. One day, he came home after work with a folded-up piece of paper, handed it to me, told me to read it, and then left without explanation. He broke up with me using a vague, hand-written letter and refused to answer my calls. A month later, he was Facebook official with another partner, so I can only assume that was a thing, and he just didn't have the heart to tell me. I messaged him roughly a year later, asking to meet for closure before I moved away to grad school, and he told me he had only recently begun thinking about what he did and how it must have made me feel. That was the closure I needed. He was undoubtedly the most emotionally stunted human being I've ever met. Now, I am extremely grateful he broke up with me because I cannot imagine myself fulfilled with someone like that. Still very inconsiderate."
11."I was with him for three and a half years. The last nine months were long-distance. We spent family vacations together; I spent time with his children. The last time we got together, his children and parents came with him and stayed at my house. I couldn't get off work, so I was working all day, and they were hanging around the house in pajamas, watching TV, and making a mess of the kitchen. We texted a couple of times after that, but then he stopped answering my texts. Sometimes, he would do that when things got busy, so I didn't care too much. Then, one month later, it was my birthday and nothing! No text, no call, absolutely nothing!"
"The day after my birthday, I tried calling, and he sent me to voicemail. After several unanswered calls in a row, he finally texted, saying he'd call me later. I still hadn't gotten a call three days later, so I tried again. Still nothing. Finally, about a week after my birthday, five weeks after we last saw each other, I texted about the things he left at my house (clothing, golf clubs, motorcycle accessories). I typed, 'What do you want me to do with all your stuff?' His reply was, 'You can just donate it.' And that was it. Nothing else. Ever. I wish we could have had a closing conversation, especially after we had looked at diamond rings about a year before the ghosting, but I guess that would be asking for too much."

12."I'm the one who ghosted my husband of three years. I came home from a tough workday to find him lying in bed with another woman. I turned right back around and went to sleep in my office. I waited for him to leave for work the next day, quickly packed up all my things, and blocked him on everything. We've been communicating via his mistress, aka my SISTER."

13."We had flirted for a year and decided to start dating officially on March 2. After that, she decided on April Fools Day that she was not interested in women and blocked me mid-conversation. Five days later, she returned to the boyfriend she had before me. We had a strong bond before dating, and she just decided, 'I never loved you like that.'"

14."I had been with my S.O. for almost three years, and we'd lived together for six months. I was in grad school, and I had the opportunity to do a semester abroad, with the possibility of staying for longer. We talked about it, and they encouraged me to pursue it. We agreed to try long-distance and maybe they would join me someday. So, I accepted the offer and moved abroad, but as soon as my first week rolled around, I noticed something was wrong. They barely texted back, and the two times I tried to call them, they didn't answer. I sent them a text asking about it, and they apologized, stating they were very busy with work (like I was not busy, having moved to another country and doing a Master's). They said they'd try harder to be available. That was the last message before they went silent. It's been seven years, and I haven't heard from them since."
15."We barely dated for a year, but it was my second real relationship. After six months of semi-long distance (I was in undergrad, about three hours away, and saw him every weekend and on weekdays when I wasn't in school), he decided to quit his well-paying job and move back to NYC for a job that paid half the amount because his mom begged him to, and he was a momma's boy. I asked him if he wanted to do long distance still, and he said he wanted to. He said he loved me and hoped I would move to NYC with him after I graduated. I visited for a week post-graduation (I had a summer job and was planning to move in three months later), and I should've seen the writing on the walls. He was already bad at communicating over text, but in person, it became worse. His mother hated me, and during the three months he was in NYC (which was closer to his family), she started telling him I wasn't good enough. She said I was an unintelligent country girl, etc."
"I foolishly left things at his apartment when I returned home because I thought that'd remind him I still loved him. Well, he had an invasive surgery. The last text I got from him was, 'I'm awake,' post-surgery. Then I didn't hear anything for a month. Not texts, no calls, nothing. I decided enough was enough and boxed up everything I had of his (clothes and gifts he gave me that I no longer wanted). I sent the box to him.
He emailed me three weeks later, asking, 'Did you mean to return the gifts?' I responded with my address and, 'Please send me back the belongings I left at your apartment.'
He never spoke to me again, and I never got my stuff back. I will admit that I'm a materialistic person. Including collectibles, clothes, and things like that, he stole over $500 worth of my treasured belongings, most of which I cannot replace."

16."We were together for seven great years. We talked about kids and marriage and looked at houses together. We were both in our 30s, had good jobs, and were ready to make things official. I found out I was pregnant and told him, and he said having kids right now would ruin our lives. He said he would take me and pay for an abortion. We decided we couldn't go through with the abortion, and I thought everything was all good. The last time I saw him was eight days before I gave birth. I kissed him goodbye and wished him a happy birthday. That was the last time I heard from him. By the time I got to work, I was blocked on everything. I gave birth at the height of COVID-19 to a beautiful baby boy by myself. Four years later, he's still the best decision I've ever made, and we are doing so much better without his sperm donor!"

17."I've sort of been ghosted. I dated this guy for four years, and he was supposed to move with me for grad school but decided to delay moving. He was supposed to visit me for the weekend and never showed up. The next day, he video-called me and dumped me. He'd visited the previous weekend and told me how much he loved me. On the call, he gave me some BS about how he planned to move to NYC and get a super prestigious job (completely out of the blue) and immediately blocked me on everything. I was devastated for a while, but then I mailed him his stuff with a 'good luck, buddy' note. After a couple of years, my friend checked out of curiosity, and he never moved."

18."My ex-fiancé ghosted me. We met in late 2019 and started dating in early 2020. He was on active duty in the military and was ordered to change stations to Europe in 2021. When it came time for him to leave, we discussed our future and agreed to a long-distance relationship. This was still the height of the COVID restrictions, so we didn't know when we'd see each other in person again. We would FaceTime all the time and talk every day. When restrictions were lifted, I flew out there to visit him in July, and he proposed. I flew out there again in December for Christmas, and while on my way to the airport, he called me, saying he didn't know if he could continue to do long-distance. I still flew out there, and we talked everything through together. I thought things were fine between us after we talked."
"I flew out there once more in June 2022 to see him, which ended up being the last time I saw him in person. We'd been together for two and a half years at that point, engaged for one, and while there were some issues due to long-distance, I didn't think anything was off. He was supposed to fly back to the States for Christmas and had sent me the flight confirmation and everything. When his flight was taking off (at 2:30 a.m. Eastern time), he texted me a long message blaming me for his stress and saying he couldn't do this anymore. I was completely blindsided.
He planned this because he sent the text message and then had me blocked on everything immediately after the message was sent. I was confused, blindsided, hurt, and desperate to know what was happening. I reached out to one of his coworkers, who was of a higher rank than him, and for two weeks, I asked him to have my ex-fiancé call me. I was going through all the stages of grief while not knowing what was going on. He finally reached out in early January 2023 and said he was burnt out and didn't know what to do. I was trying to work things out with and support him, but it was all manipulation on his end.
By June 2023, we had fallen back into the same routine we had before, and he was supposed to visit me for a month so we could reconnect. He did the same thing a week before he was supposed to fly to the States. He texted me and said he needed some time because of a stressful email, then blocked me everywhere. Turns out, he was cheating on me with multiple women the entire time he was in Europe. I got my stuff back, sold the ring, and haven't looked back since. However, I have been in therapy. How can someone do that to someone they say they love and have been in a long-term relationship with? I was questioning everything and didn't know what to believe. I didn't even trust myself.
Not knowing what was happening/why it was happening and feeling helpless, especially being thousands of miles away and relying on calling/texting or social media to contact him in the first place, took such a toll on my psyche. I wasn't sleeping and wasn't eating. It took me a while to trust myself again, and therapy has been beneficial."

19."He was cute, charming, funny, and charismatic. He was covered in tattoos and had eyes I could (and did) get lost in. We met in the fall of 2001. Both our chemistry and attraction were noticeable to everyone around us. There were rumors of us hooking up, but unbeknownst to those people, we didn't because we lost contact with each other. We met by fate two years later on a telephone chat line on Christmas 2003. I thought I had the perfect guy for me (with a few issues), but that wasn't the case."
"Over the course of nearly 20 years, between his cheating and mind games, almost losing my career, and his six-year prison stint for a crime he committed in self-defense (public defender didn't see it as such), we broke up, got back together, and broke up again. Finally, things started to feel better during the summer of 2020. For years, promises of a future and sweet texts were exchanged, usually in the morning, while he'd go quiet at night.
I tested him. We got into ANOTHER argument, and I gave him yet another warning about how karma would come for him if he didn't treat me with respect. One week turned into two, which turned into five. He didn't call, and I had no desire to call him either. Finally, he called a week before his birthday, and I purposely waited over a week to contact him. I could tell he was mad, and I didn't care.
I found out he started dating a married woman who, in the end, chose her husband over him and set him up to be killed, which he survived. In the summer of 2022, we reconnected after ghosting. What I once found attractive made my skin crawl, and I had an anxiety attack. I couldn't breathe when I saw him; my hands were shaking, and I thought I was going to die in his presence. After seeing him, I raced home, relieved to be in my own safe place, and the next day, I realized I was ghosted yet again, this time for good. I was hurt, angry, confused, and sad. I didn't understand how or why this happened again.
Ghosts are better off left alone. It's been two years, and I got my dream job, bought a new car, and continued to rebuild personally and professionally. I've pursued my interests, one that led me to a producer who featured me on his podcast discussing pro wrestling. I've also reconnected with a past love, and I'm packing up my apartment to move in with him at the end of this month. Things are great and keep getting better. As for my ghost? He's 45, still living at home, riding around, picking up women in bars, and trusting total strangers. Me? A weight has been lifted, and I'm better than ever."

20."I was with my ex for almost three years. We lived together for two. We had gone on vacation with my family and had a great time. He had to leave a few days before me because he had to return to work. When he returned to our place, he texted me how much he loved and missed me and how it wasn't the same without me there. That same day, I texted him and told him I would be on the beach with my family. I left my phone at the beach house. When I got back, I had multiple missed calls from him. I called him back, and he told me he had to see his parents in Maine (we lived in South Carolina). After multiple questions, I figured out that he was leaving for good. I told my family what was happening, got in my car, and drove three hours back home. He took the clothes on his back and the dog. He blocked me on everything, so I couldn't even contact him. It was like he died."
"Several years later, he contacted me and apologized for everything. It did give me closure, but I was devastated. I'm now married to an amazing man, and I have a new dog for which I am so grateful. I'll never understand how someone can do that to someone else that they love."

21."I was with my ex-boyfriend for a little over three years. He was my longest adult relationship. Towards the end, I noticed he wouldn't text me first, and I was always the one reaching out. He worked at 4:00 a.m., so he woke up, had his lunch break, got off work, and got home all before I was awake most days. I was annoyed that I always reached out even though he had plenty of chances. Even a quick, 'Good morning. Talk after work,' text or something would have sufficed. I decided to test whether he would initiate the conversation, so I didn't text him first and waited. Two days passed, and he texted me FURIOUS that I didn't text him. I told him that I was always the one to reach out, and he got mad and said he was busy working and then tired, so he fell asleep after work, but whatever, he'd fix it. After that argument, things seemed fine, but then again, it returned to me initiating."
"I waited for him to reach out first, and the cycle continued; he'd get mad I didn't text, we'd argue, he said he'd text first more, he'd fix it, then we'd get back to me starting all the convos. Then, he began turning his location off after work. The last time I waited for him to text me first, three days passed, and I knew that was the last straw.
Finally, he texted, 'We need to talk. Can I come over?' I said sure. He came over and just stood in my driveway looking around, so I told him we were done, and he agreed without looking at me the entire time. Then, six months later, he showed up at my doorstep saying me missed me; I was on my way out, so he asked to meet for coffee, and he wanted to hug me (lol, no). We met, and I felt so sure about ending it. I dodged a mama's boy bullet. As I drove off, I blasted, 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.'"

22."I had seen this guy for two years, and we spent so much time together nearly every day. When we weren't together, we would always chat. It was wonderful. We just clicked and had so much in common. We also had our differences, which made our relationship even more exciting. Then COVID happened, and the world went into lockdown. We were still together, and I thought everything was fine. Our communication was still amazing even though we couldn't be with each other because he had to move back to his country. We had planned for me to go there when the world wasn't in lockdown anymore. We spoke one night, then I went to sleep. The next day, I woke up to him blocking me on everything without explanation."
"It's been nearly four years since it happened. I sometimes wonder what went wrong or if I did something. The situation knocked me off my feet and gave me a lot of doubts. Now, when a guy shows a little interest in me, I wonder if he's for real or if it will just end the same way it did last time."

23."I was with him for three years. I was in my late 30s, and he was 15 years my senior. I had two small children, and he had grown kids. His youngest was in his second year of college. We both had great careers and supported each other's endeavors and aspirations. I had my shit together and had his shit together. We both were very family-oriented. When we met, it was instantaneous chemistry. I loved him deeply. I loved him more than my ex-husband/father of my kids, even when we were happily together. He was amazing to me. He helped me grow as a person and a mother. I don't regredon't time together, even though he took the last years of my 30s. He met my kids, and I met his. We shared holidays and birthdays with our kids and families. I was in it for the long haul. We talked about moving together and our future."
"It wasn't perfect. There were issues and flags on both sides. Near the end of our three years together, I think the age gap bothered him more, and our kids being in different life stages weighed heavily on him. None of these things were new. He knew from day one what he was getting with me. He had three years. He could have ended it way before.
I visited family during a holiday break, and he wasn't replying to texts or picking up my calls as quickly. I assumed it was holiday stress. When I returned home, he wouldn't take any of my calls and wouldn't text me. He said he'd call me later, then never did. I was getting that sick feeling in my stomach. I was a ball of nerves waiting for his calls and texts. I wanted something to alleviate the panic and tell me I was being ridiculous. I held on to that hope.
A few days after I returned, I got this long text that he couldn't do this anymore. I called him right away, and he sent me to voicemail. I was heartbroken and livid. I deserved more than being broken up via text. I told him I would never text him again unless he called me. He never did.
The silence was the worst. No longer getting texts or calls that were part of our ritual was devastating. I cried in the shower so my kids wouldn't hear me. I spiraled into a quiet depression. I felt alone. But I had no choice. I was a mother first, and my kids were my priority. Slowly, I crawled out of this lonely black hole and started feeling like myself.
He texted me six months later that he was thinking of me and hoped I was well. I ignored it. I got a similar text from him again six months later. I ignored it, too. He connected with me on LinkedIn, but I ignored it. He friended me on Facebook, and I declined. He never even had a Facebook account before. I'd get random texts, and I never replied. This went on for three years. One day, he finally called. I took his call because I was super curious. I'd had this conversation in my head so many times that it was time to make it real. The hurt was still there, but thankfully, the loneliness and depression were not.
He apologized for the immature way he broke things and took full responsibility. We spent an hour on the phone. It was all very civilized. It's hard to believe, right? I told him he was wrong about how he went about it. I said I was so in love with him, and I thought he was the love of my life. I also told him the breakup was for the best. I told him I doubted we would have survived COVID and knew his political views were not like mine. I was his total opposite. I told him how I had to lie to my kids to explain his absence without letting them know mommy had been ghosted and he'd abandoned me and them, too. My youngest kept asking about him for several months. He was very attached to him. I'll never forgive him that. I think I surprised him with my bluntness.
I wished him well and told him I had to return to my life. He would still text me every six or so months, and I'd ignore it. More than six years later, in October 2023, he messaged me via Facebook. I ignored that, too. I have nothing more to say."

24."I was very close friends with this girl at an all-girls boarding school. She was openly bisexual, and I didn't know I was a lesbian yet. After we graduated high school, we shared an apartment together very briefly. I realized I had romantic feelings for her after she broke up with her then-boyfriend. When I was ready to tell her, she got back together with her ex-girlfriend. I didn't think I could remain her friend and hold in my feelings for her while they were together. I decided to tell her how I felt and let the chips fall where they may."
"I had to tell her online because she was traveling and unavailable for a phone call. She replied that I could return as her friend once I overcame my feelings for her. She refused to have a conversation over the phone or in person. This was exclusively over DMs and email. I never saw or heard from her again after that. All our mutual friends chose her in the 'divorce.' She didn't keep it quiet either, and I was essentially outed despite not necessarily being ready to tell everyone I was gay. I was 19.
It royally messed me up for someone I had known intimately during my formative years to abruptly exit my life without any in-person rejection or proper goodbye. To this day, I find myself subconsciously bracing for relationships to end suddenly. It takes me longer than average to relax and fully trust relationships. Fortunately, I have an incredible and patient girlfriend of almost five years. We're planning a life together, and I couldn't be happier."

25."I had this friend for approximately eight years, and we both had some feelings for each other. We would talk every day, though it was long-distance. Even so, we were pretty close. One day, I said I had a crush and got the response, 'I'm very attracted to you and feel love towards you, but I don't have a crush on you. Crushes cloud the judgment.' I apologized, and we agreed just to keep going with the friendship. They said everything was cool. NOPE. After that, the talks became less frequent, and when I asked if something was wrong, I got accused of being dramatic. When we did speak, it was all minimal and calculated. Usually, messages that previously took five minutes to answer took weeks to get a reply, and the replies were filled with contempt and apathy until they eventually turned to no replies at all."

26."My boyfriend and I were living together, but I was having a hard time living away from my family and commuting a long distance. We agreed that living closer to my family and job would be best. He told me that he wanted to marry me and said he was all in and wanted me to be the mother of his children. He had me put our stuff in storage and stay with my parents until we could find a home. He had a family emergency in Mexico and had to leave for a month. When he came back, he ghosted me for five days. I could NOT believe it. I wonder if he had this planned out all along. He sent me an essay-long text when I finally reached out to him. He said he needed to heal from his childhood trauma before we could be together. I haven't seen him or talked to him since."

27.And: "I was dating a man from Brazil. We had both been married previously and were starting to date again. We had some definite communication issues, including a language barrier, but it was only a problem if we didn't have our phones to help us translate. We lived about two and a half hours from each other, so we met about every other weekend. We had fun together, like dancing, camping, and traveling. I met his Brazilian friends, and they were all amazing people! He, of course, was still learning English, so I took up Portuguese on Duolingo. I could make basic sentences."
"We spent a year and a half together, and then he wanted to have a discussion. He wanted to know what I thought about getting married. We decided we would eventually get married but would move in together first. It seemed best for me to move to his city, so we started researching apartments. About a month later, I saw a post on his second IG account, and the person filming him in the video was a woman I had never seen before. I sent him a message asking about it, and he blocked me on everything: Facebook, IG, Messenger, and phone. I never got an answer as to who that woman was. I'm very grateful we never found an apartment."
