Walter, You have so many great nuanced advice in this piece. You have a new fan.

I once wrote a piece many years ago about ghosting someone who lied to me. He told me he wasn't dating anyone else and then I found out that was a lie. I felt no need to confront him. Lying is a deal breaker. So I ghosted.

I got flayed alive for that article. People called me immature and passive aggressive. They said I was trying to punish him. I was not. I was trying to move on. The comments were pretty cruel, but I stood by my conviction that not all relationships need a formal closure. And you really don't deserve one if you lied of cheated.
