Thank you again
You're welcome.

Just do what is right for YOU in this situation. Ghosting is definitely very hurtful.
You can be gentle and kind and fade away without ghosting and without hurting her terribly.

From what you wrote above, she does not sound considerate of other people's feelings when she disappears. You are considerate and inform people of why you've disappeared for a couple days.

I find that I need friends who are on the same level as me - if they are not, they are not a good friend of mine.
