Dumped

And you’re ghosted for good!

“No one comes together just to fall apart” – Marshall Crenshaw

The conversation probably started with something like “We need to talk.” Next thing you know, the relationship is over and you’ve been dumped. We all have. Or at least most of us have. Relationships are grown, nurtured and developed with effort, care, and most of all love. It’s a partnership that is mutually beneficial and satisfying. It may have started out of convenience. Or maybe just a chance encounter. Maybe they saw your ad and your profile looked pretty sexy, so they swiped right (or left, I’m not quite sure how those dating things work) and next thing you know you are seeing each other regularly. Maybe you’re not exclusive, but you spend most of your meals together, and dammit, you feed them good. But your paramour is very attractive to the other suitors in your neighborhood. Very attractive. They flirt and woo and look their best every night, and pretty soon they are spending some time together. You think “What could I have done differently? I thought we had a solid relationship.” Turns out you didn’t actually have the relationship. You had transactions and what your lover wanted was a relationship. They felt like they were just a customer, and frankly, your inattention just started to show. You didn’t keep yourself clean and fresh, and the next thing you know your texts and your ads go unanswered and you’re ghosted for good. Treat your customers like your one true love and they won’t leave you. Getting dumped sucks.
