I think talking about breakups is embarrassing, like admitting failure or tripping and falling with an audience. You just want to play it off, however inadequately, and move on as quickly as possible.
The ghost makes this process much harder because you can’t ask any questions! The other party, excuse my stereotypical adjectives, was a pussy. To quote Taylor Swift “Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide. Like a scared little boy.”
Or you want to talk about it incessantly. Because disecting every moment of the time you spent together, re-reading every text and scrutinizing every interaction you will find an ANWSER! There is no answer besides he is a jerk, but you will require at least 4-6 weeks of this talking, initially daily and eventually, hopefully for the sake of your friends and loved ones it will slowly peter out.
I’m still avoiding telling my story, because, how embarrassing!
For now I will say I should always know better when a pickup truck is in involved.
