Has ghosting affected you?

 
How we communicate has changed so much in the past 20 years. At the end of the 1990’s we still talked face-to-face and we called each other on the phone. We even wrote long letters.

If we were going to break up with someone then we more or less had to tell them in person that the relationship wasn’t going anywhere.

Some tried to do so over the phone.

As with any relationship, be it gay or straight or a marriage or a committed bonding, it is what those in the relationship want and prioritise that is important. And communicating those needs to each other is key. So sex may be vital or it may not be.
