No matter how brief the relationship, ending things is hard. I've never been very good at breakups, and I think there are a lot of people out there who feel similarly about themselves. While ghosting has a bad reputation, I honestly think I'd prefer it in most situations where the connection didn't last that long.
I'd definitely find it preferable to a message like one that has been horrifying people on Twitter. A woman proudly displayed to the world her "honest" breakup text to a man she had been seeing, and it's a doozy. Stating that her date was "boring" and "not destined for success", many questioned her reasoning for being so extra.
Admitting that is was harsh but doubling down on her decision, it seems like she had no regrets about the interaction, either. It really makes you wonder what the guy did to warrant such a complete character assassination.
