Ghosting anyone, let alone one’s partner, is incredibly rude and cowardly! If you have an issue with someone, talk to them! You might just find that you misunderstood something, and your partner is completely innocent! If there was infidelity and you decide not to or refuse to forgive, as is your right, then TELL THEM! Letting someone know that you will not take their abuse of you OR the relationship any longer and you are ending the relationship is incredibly empowering, and its actually therapeutic!
I know when I discovered that my first boyfriend “Mike” was cheating on me, and I was shown the evidence, I next saw Mike when he was surrounded by his friends… I thought about a private discussion, but his cheating was public, so he CHOSE the venue in which he wanted this to air. Anyway, I simply asked “hey, how many of you guys have a girlfriend, come on just raise your hand… Not so fast Mike!” I raised the picture of him kissing another girl in public, surrounded by many of those same friends (one of whom provided me with the picture). And I could see on his face, he knew he’d been caught and he knew the relationship was over.
Publicly dumping him helped (it still hurt like hell) but having the strength, self respect, and dignity to face someone and tell them that their behavior was unacceptable, and will never be tolerated… that is, as previously stated, incredibly empowering, and therapeutic, but it also sets in reality the very moment you ended the relationship, and it allows you to actually begin healing! Ghosting someone? Well depending on their persistence it could delay the starting point for your healing to begin by weeks or even months! Who want’s that?
Please don't get me wrong but I'm sensing that you're very concerned with being ghosted. It's not the first time that you ask a question like that.
I agree with your reasons and I also don't see a different reason to ghost your partner.
i've had it happen to me often. it hurts everytime.
Only if the person ghosted is an abuser or they won't stop communications.
I'm so glad you asked this question. Ghosting in general just seriously bothers me. Just tell the person that you won't be communicating any more. And, if there's a reason (they bothered you, you offended them, you were a nuisance, etc.) it would be useful to convey that.
I just feel that (again, except in case of abuse or stalking or something else I don't know) ghosting is an immature way of dealing with interpersonal relationships.
Agreed. very immature
As a former serial cheater, I admit that I have ghosted quite a few women.
hey its alright as long as you've changed now. i wasn't all that great in my past either
Well, I contacted some of the women from my past. I have apologized and tried to make good.
But I know it isn't enough. I just try to be a better person.

I’m with you on the two reasons you mentioned: cheating or abusive. I can’t think of other decent reasons to ghost someone you’re in a relationship with.
I don't like ghosting any girl or woman I'm dating
Um... ghosting is not a great relationship keeper. But I've used it when I know the relationship is over or at rock bottom. Some family, so former SOs. I guess I have issues with emotion and sometimes its easier to stop talking.
You've died and become a ghost which makes it next to impossible not to ghost them.
I think the reasons you said are fine
I have ghosted liars, like catfish!
