Ghosting

In episode 3 we continue our discussion about modern relationship practises with a discussion of ghosting. While many of you may be familiar with the term, we spend some time clarifying it and the different circumstances in which it occurs. We then think about why it might be gaining mainstream attention, and some of the reasons people might ghost.
