Has anyone seen this article on the new craze which is called Ghosting, which was initiated via social media as the way forward, going no contact with friends or family if they upset you, no explanation required, just calls and texts not answered and blanked if you meet out. It used to be called sending to Coventry, then no contact, now Ghosting. How cruel, especially for teenagers and young people with confidence issues.

It is just a new word for something that has always existed, someone deciding for good reason, or no reason at all, to cut someone out of their life.

I suspect it has happened to most people at sometime or another, usually when a relationship ends.

My other relationships always ended in a way where I was at least aware!

Could I ask a bit of advice? What do you wear at a Spa Day? I've been having a difficult time recently and my daughter has booked a Spa Day for us both as a treat. What do older ladies wear/ do at these things?

Think in my ignorance of how to ask a question - I have inadvertently posted in the middle of a thread. Please forgive me, many apologies!!

It happens, Hammo. Don't worry. We won't ghost you because of it, lol!

To start your own discussion, click on "Relationships" above and then "Start a discussion." But I think this question would be better placed in the "Ask a gran" forum. So maybe, click on Gransnet forums above, then Ask a gran and then Start a discussion. Up to you.

M0nica, I agree, new term, same behaviour. No problem to my view.
