Calling out the “slow fade” – your experiences and advice

Hello good people of reddit. I come here with a burning question about the slow fade.

First things first – I am NOT seeking advice on whether or not I am being slowly phased out (I’m 90% sure I am). Nor am I seeking advice on what I should do. I have already decided to call it out, rather than politely allow him to fade away (because it’s a crappy way to act and we all need to stop doing this to each other).

Essentially I want to diplomatically assert myself without burning any bridges if I am wrong about the slow fade.

I am trying to find the right words to note that he is being less responsive, and that I wondered if that might mean that he is no longer interested, and if so could he please let me know.

I would like to know your experiences with the slow phase-out. – have you ever called someone out on it? How did it go? – has someone called YOU out on slow phasing them? How did they do it and how did you feel about it? – has anyone ever accused you of slowly fading away when you actually weren’t?

Thanks in advance 🙂 x
