I'm so sorry for your pain. Ghosting is one of the most painful things a partner can do to someone, along with seeing someone else behind your back.

I am curious to know: how is it that your husband can ghost you, if you are married and presumably living together? Were you living apart? Was he traveling or out of town for the last 10 days?

I have not been through this experience personally, but I have had a lot of relationships and painful breakups, and I have been ghosted before.

What I can say to you is that it is hardest to heal when the other will not allow for closure and when the other refuses to talk to you. I'm afraid that until you receive some sort of communication from him, that it may be difficult to heal quickly.

On the flip side, what MAY help is to know that this action on the part of your husband is MOST cruel. And if he was seeing someone or is with someone else, that is double the injury. He may have presented himself differently in the beginning, but this shows true colors and his true character, which is VERY weak and MOST cruel. The HONORABLE thing to have done is to exit the marriage BEFORE he decided to be with someone else. He did not have enough respect or honor to do even that. He is a COWARD.

So know in your heart and mind that you deserved communication from him, and you did not deserve to be cheated on. You deserve an explanation. You did not deserve cruelty.

So if you continue to not hear from him, perhaps you will need to find your own closure somehow. And perhaps that closure can be a conclusion about this person's poor character. In my opinion, he doesn't deserve your love, your devotion, or YOU. Someone who has it within them to be so coldhearted is not the person for you.

So know this.

And I know that you say you cannot think of divorce, but if it were me, I would turn my back on this man, file for divorce immediately and not think twice. This is not a good sign for a happy marriage within one year of marriage, and even if he does come back to you again.

Hugs and strength to you.
