Natagpuan ng isang babae ang kanyang mister na nang-ghosting sa kanya at sa kanilang mga anak sa loob lamang ng ilang oras—salamat sa kapangyarihan ng social media.
Ang “ghosting” ay terminong ginagamit kapag basta na lang nawala at hindi na nagparamdam ang isang partner sa relasyon. Kumbaga, walang closure.
Kalimitan na ang gumagamit nito ay mga mag-boyfriend at girlfriend pa lang.
Sa kaso ni Ashley McGuire ng Massachusetts, USA, kasal sila ni Charles Withers, isang British national.
Mayroon din silang dalawang anak nang abandonahin siya ng lalaki at nawalang parang bula.
Si Ashley ay forty-two years old, at isang licensed aesthetician. Chef naman si Charles.

Ang panggo-ghosting kay Ashley ni Charles ay ibinahagi niya sa kanyang Facebook account last April 7, 2024.
Ang post ni Ashley, published as is: “I’m really about to test the power of Facebook with this one.
“This is my husband, Charles Withers. He loves to be the center of attention but I'm not sure how much he's going to like this.
“Last year, when I was pregnant with our youngest baby, he decided being a husband and a dad wasn't the lifestyle he wanted anymore and he ghosted, like gone without a trace.
“He has one baby he hasn't seen in over a year, and one he's never met. He's moved somewhere out of state and changed his phone number.”
Ang post ni Ashley ay may kalakip na dalawang photos nila ni Charles—ang isa ay kuha sa kanilang wedding.

Kaya hinahanap ni Ashley si Charles ay para makapag-divorce na at tuluyang maka-move on.
Kaya lang, “Divorcing someone who's completely unreachable is really tough and drawn out, so I'm trying to track him down to get his signature on a few papers so I can finally close this chapter and move on with my life.
“I've heard he's going by ‘Charlie’ now. He's British and charming AF. He's a chef and probably working in the hospitality industry somewhere.
“He's probably never mentioned having a wife or kids back in Massachusetts.”
Panawagan niya sa mga makakabasa ng kanyang post, “If you know him, if you're working with him, if you're dating him or friends with him, can you please have him get in touch with me or let me know where I can find him.
“All the girls, girls out there, feel free to share. A friend of a friend of a friend has got to know where he is.”

Matapos mai-post ni Ashley ang kanyang panawagan, agad itong nag-viral makalipas lang ang 14 hours.
May mga babaeng nag-claim na naka-match nila si Charles sa Bumble, isang online dating site. Alam umano ng mga ito ang address at phone number ng lalaki.
Ayon pa sa ibang internet sources, posibleng nasa Texas si Charles.
Ito umano ang lalaking tinutukoy sa Texas-based “Are We Dating The Same Guy?” Facebook group.
