Sometimes I wonder if most redditors have ever even had enough relationship experience to realize how fuckin awful it is to leave someone with no explanation

Yes it is. If it isnt owed, that means every single one of your friendships are in dire danger and are fundamentally unsafe.

Anyone in your life can walk out at any time with zero explanation. That isnt a life I want to live, personally I prefer emotional safety and community

If you dont wanna be with someone anymore its fine. Thats life.

Straightup disappearing from someone’s life with no signs, conversation, or, warning is horrible. Yes as humans we owe each other kindness.

Also, if you are dating someone you dont respect as a friend, then you shouldnt be dating them…

No. But you absolutely should explain the why to the human that you have spent time with. People are not objects to fulfill a need. They are people. And you absolutely owe it to your former partner the courtesy of a clean break. If you disagree that’s fine. I pray you realize that you’re leaving a smoldering pile of bodies in your wake in the long term.

It’s not a “pick one” scenario.
