It is why I don’t get too worked up with who my kids are dating. I start to pay attention after they passed 6 months mark.
It is always hard when there is a breakup.
@MYOS1634 Yup. A lot. Especially seeing that instead of telling me he was no longer interested, he decided to completely ignore every attempt I’ve made at contact. It was really out of the blue too. Like we had a great conversation and after that, nothing. So yeah it hurts, but I’ll be fine I suppose.
Hugs, @CaliCash. Some of us are old but not too old to remember getting our hearts broken. 
The disappearing act is called ghosting: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/26/fashion/exes-explain-ghosting-the-ultimate-silent-treatment.html?_r=0
All kinds of articles online about it now.
@CaliCash so much for older = more mature, right? Best outcome that you see it right up front! Eyes on the prize girl. Men are noise right now;)
@ignatius Yup. Read a lot about it a few days ago. @HRSMom Ain’t that something lol? I guess that’s my sign from God to ignore men and focus on school.
Yep, who needs the drama. For fun, go see Spotlight. That is a movie I really enjoyed, and I think you will to.
@bookworm I went to a private screening a few weeks ago! It was great!
This was the exact reason why DS’s previous relationship quickly melt down (in less than 2 months maybe?): Too much drama. To their credit, they had a “civil” (but likely still hurtful) “let’s break up” talk before they stopped seeing each other.
One of my coworkers once dated a surgeon (not a resident in training, rather, a fully fledged and therefore older physician.) She said that when he decided to take a job in the mid-west, he even did not bother to drop her a “goodbye” email. She said that men who are on that line of job tends to be the most selfish persons. She even said that this is why such a person can succeed so much. He needs to take care of his own interest (e.g., his career is his number one, and possibly his only, concern in his life.) She also said that at a party, he could have his pick of almost any girls to date even when he had some trouble in striking conversations in that environment. (Not sure if she exaggerated it.)
I am not sure whether she said so because she thought she was mistreated and became bitter. But I heard from another (relatively reliable?) source that the majority of those “high achievers” about 25-27 yo really have one thing constantly in their mind: their careers. This is the only thing that is worth their full attention when they are awake. Everything else is secondary in its importance in their lives (at least this is so before they are 30-32 yo and their careers are fully established.)
