Ghosting, noun : The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. - Oxford Dictionary
Note: Ghosting is different from leaving an abusive situation without a goodbye - that is called "self-protection." It's also different from disappearing after a boundary has been violated, that is "self-respect."
“I adore this podcast, who amongst us hasn't been ghosted?,” effuses Bacow. “The host, Gretta, is warm and wonderful and talks about her own experience with ghosting. While ghosting is a very specific experience, there are many mental health aspects of dealing with this type of rejection, and I recommend this podcast to all of my clients who have had this (unfortunately all too common) experience.”
