Ghosted for Years
Reddit user 2PartridgesinaPetri thought she knew her best friend very well, but it turns out that she didn’t really know her at all because she was suddenly ghosted by her. Years later, she ran into her and discovered the shocking reason why she had pulled away.
“One of my best friends in college got engaged and married at the same time as me. We helped each other plan our weddings, look at houses, constantly talked about when we would both have kids, the four of us got together all the time and were really close. After my wedding (a few months after hers) she told me she was pregnant. We had lost touch for a couple months and I was thrilled and hoped this would bring us closer together again.
Then she goes completely no contact for months, won’t return my phone calls, messages, nothing. I was heartbroken and felt I had lost a family member. I tracked her down years later and around the time her baby was born she divorced her husband and moved in with her girlfriend. They now raise her baby together. We were close friends for years, still did not see it coming.”
