My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

      Using the term “common-sense” in reference to specific, complex preferences is definitely an old person trait.

            a relationship is a voluntary situation

            Except if you’re standing next to me in the supermarket. Or at the bus stop. Or sitting near me in a restaurant. Or at the doctors office and so on. And in all of these situations, I expect common courtesy from you. Or I consider you as an asshole.

                No, you are talking about “ghosting”. You are the only person in this comment thread to type that word, twice. This post is not simply about ghosting, it is about “old person traits”. You can tell because you can read the title.

                a relationship is a voluntary situation that can be interrupted at any time for any reason
