I hate people who play games like that. You in or you out. She obviously was mostly out. Some just can’t understand that Relationships are not a one way street.

I actually had a friend do this to a guy she had been dating for maybe 6 months. She spent around a week ignoring his calls, texts, snapchats etc. because she was giving him the "silent treatment" after he said something wrong. She was telling me regularly how it was entertaining her so much seeing him call 15+ times a day and regular texts trying to talk it out. From what I remember, it wasn't even a huge deal, she just wanted to see him suffer.

I told her "quit being a child and talk it out with him. It may be fun and games for you, but I bet he's gonna be moving on really soon." she replied with "no he won't, he loves me too much!" Sure enough, after a little over a week she listens to the last voicemail he sent before going silent for 24H and it was him breaking up with her. She instantly starts calling him every 30 seconds to try and say she was "just testing his love for her" and he replied with "yeah, that's out the window now. You ignored me for a week over a dumb comment. I'm not into childish games."

He went on a date a few days later and married the woman maybe two years later. Her? well I don't talk to her much anymore but her Facebook status is "in a (new) relationship" every couple months for the last few years.

I had an ex do this. We actually broke up and reconnected. She was super into talking and then suddenly she started ghosting me like she did before she dumped me.

I walked away and haven’t messaged her since. She’ll occasionally like my posts on tumblr, but she ignored multiple texts and hasn’t bothered to put in any effort.

You’ve got to know your value and walk away when it’s a one-way street.
