You describe something that happened to me last year. I wish I had read this article back then - I felt so confused, thinking I did something wrong when really he lovebombed me and then took everything away once it got too real for him.

His behavior made me so much more careful with men. I can't trust as easily anymore, thinking it could be over any second. I've been a hopeless romantic, loving the fall and now I am pretty much hypervigilant all the time.

Getting ghosted made my change the way I approach relationships.

Thank you for your kindness, Peter. It's funny (not really) the things that we settle for, and then suddenly wake up to a deep inner knowing that we deserve more. I believe that hearing each other's stories is one of those things that can wake us up.

So grateful to have a loving relationship now that is a two-way street. It settles my nervous system.
