Ghostee

Now, a new study led by Leah LeFebvre of the University of Alabama sought to shed scientific light on this phenomenon, to help demystify why and how ghosters choose to end a relationship in this manner, and how ghostees experience this method of relationship dissolution. […] This theme refers to the ghoster’s disinterest in the ghostee as a result of the latter’s antagonistic behavior.

The damage to the recipient — who I will now refer to as the ghostee — is fairly clear.
