This is when in a relationship or friendship, one of them breaks off contact with no word or indication as to why. They just simply stop communication etc. It's an extremely spineless way of ending a relationship or friendship.

I've had it a few times. One was a friendship of 10 years, in that time I had seen her do it to other people but she was close to me so I didn't even imagine she would do it to me, but one day I noticed she hadn't replied any texts, sent a FB message, no reply even though she had seen it. Weird thing is that no disputes/arguments/disagreements or anything happened, so I didn't rack my brains as to what I did because I know she doesn't like confrontation. But it's completely mental and doggy, at any rate.

The other time was with a workmate, we were close as friends at work, one night he had a slight argument with another co-worker and as an in between person I thought I could provide the other person's perspective in a normal, calm way. The next day he ignored me when I first said hi, then said it sharply when I repeated my greeting. He never made eye-contact with me again after that or spoke to me. I can't imagine what I did wrong but ok.

With another, closer mate workmate after his contract ended, I invited him out for a night out but it was raining so he cancelled soon before it was to happen. Fair enough, I didn't show much annoyance. Later that year I invited him to my birthday night out - completely blanked through text. A couple of times I've seen him on the street or in clubs and he'll very obviously see me but look away. Again, no arguments or BS so I can't blame myself for anything even if I wanted to because nothing of any sort actually happened.

So, anyone had this happen to them? Or have you ever been undignified and slimy enough to do it to anyone else? If so... why?
