Dead to Me
No longer acknowledged
Dead to me describes someone you've completely cut off emotionally, treating them as if they no longer exist.
The phrase signals a dramatic, often permanent break in a relationship—typically following betrayal or deep disappointment: After what she did, she's dead to me.
It's theatrical by nature, sometimes used with genuine finality, sometimes for humorous overstatement about minor slights.
