CMV: Ghosting someone is one of the trashiest things someone can do

If you're dating somebody, there are only a couple of times ghosting them is more acceptable than giving them a reasonable explanation. Those times are, if they cheated, were abusive, or sexually abusive in anyway. Any other time you owe them at least a little bit of respect to say why you don't want to talk to them. Ghosting someone just leaves them wondering why that happened and they never get closure on the relationship. Same thing goes for if you're talking to someone you know is interested in you and you do not feel that same way. Now if they are being outright creepy/stalkerish I can agree that they do not deserve a reason. But if that person is being respectful, I think they deserve at the very least, "I'm sorry I'm not into you that way" im sure people can gather that from being ghosted but it's just not right to leave the person thinking they said something wrong or make them think they *were* being creepy or stalkerish when they weren't.

I have accidentally "ghosted" before. It can be the case that you legitimately do not have a way of contacting them, or the time to do so. Your phone died, you lost their number, you went away for the weekend and forgot your phone, etc. Or maybe you aren't as attached to your phone as the other person, and they take offence.      

Different people have different definitions of the timeline of ghosting. To some, an hour without a response is ghosting. But maybe you simply put your phone down to go make/eat dinner, or you fell asleep.
