On (鈥済host鈥) in relationships:
I think part of the answer harkens back to the deemphasizing of attachment and the numbness that people need to cultivate to survive in hookup culture. Part of it, too, is that online dating and social media allow us to interact with people who are not deeply connected to our existing 鈥渞eal-world鈥 networks of friends and acquaintances. So if the ghosts don鈥檛 have the courage to end a relationship with some dignity, and there aren鈥檛 going to be social consequences for him/her/they, then it鈥檚 going to happen with increasing frequency, sadly.
