He came back as if nothing has happened.
I was dating a guy for 2 months. In the beginning everything was going well. I felt never met someone like him until 40 days ago when he ghosted me out of no where. 15 days before ghosting, he became inconsistent and a bit distant. His behavior before ghosting (constant deactivation) made me realise he is probably a FA. My last text to him was about his family emergency. I supported him throughout his family situation. But he ghosted me. For the first 10 days after ghosting (of course I didn't realise in 10 days that I was ghosted) I thought he needs time so I should give him space ( I have secure attachment). By 15th day I accepted the fact that I was ghosted and felt really bad. For next 10 days I felt a mix of emotional. Finally after a month I was relived that I have dogded a bullet and was probably saved from emotional labour or burden. I never chased or texted. I didn't want to compromise with my self respect. But I didn't block him just deleted his number and texts.
But today after 40 days he came as if nothing happened. Generic text hey and i took a break from internet as i was overwhelmed.
WTF.
Instead of feeling a sense of relief, I feel "Wow,his audacity. He is back. What an asshole ".
Sorry for a long rant. I wasn't sure if this is the right sub, I just wanted someone to listen. I kinda feel shit but also proud of myself for not chasing him.
TL;DR Ghosted me after I supported him during family emergency (I knew he was overwhelmed). Made me anxious (even tho i had a secure attachment) for a while. No contact for 40 days. Came back as if nothing happened.
