DEAR ABBY: My best friend of more than 10 years, “Ian,” ghosted me! We used to talk about everything — wives, children, jobs. We spent hours together and helped each other sort out our problems. He knew more about me than my wife. With no explanation, he stopped responding to texts and messages and is ignoring my calls. I have come to terms with this and deleted him from my social media and social circles. It’s been two years now.
The problem is my wife. Everyone else in my family has removed him from their social circles. However, my wife maintains contact with him. As far as I knew, they were only acquaintances. Yet now they comment on each other’s posts and play online games together. When Ian ghosted me, my wife asked if she should stop playing online with him. I replied, “You’re a big girl. I can’t tell you what to do. But I hope you’ll make the smart choice.” Well, she didn’t make the smart choice, or the loyal one.
