Which is a better way to break off a relationship?

I ghosted my doctor. I was tired of walking into her less than clean office. Hearing the endless excuses about why I had to wait. Staring at the shitty tan/grey barf walls. Mostly because she was clearly interested in hustling as many people per hour through her system as possible. Oh, and her listening skills were terrible.

Sound like a relationship that you’ve been in?

Why make the effort to lie to them? Instead, just ghost them. They’ve earned it.

Some people say that telling them a lie is more humane because it provides closure. Does it really? It does take time and an emotional toll. So why bother?

Or if you are going to bother and are ok with confrontation, then just tell them the truth: “You treated me poorly. Goodbye.”

But lying to someone? It’s a waste of everyone’s time.
