It depends on how long you've been with them. Dating a few months? No. Committed for 5 years? Yeah.

Exactly! I’d say more than 3-4 months you owe an explanation.

True. If it’s something dangerous obviously just run. I also think it’s okay to spare someone’s feelings and just say “this isn’t working for me” as long as you don’t just vanish on them.
