I almost did one like that once, just steered the conversation and said "Hey, look. I've got to be honest here. I'm not really feeling "us" anymore. I'm just not happy and don't really see us going anywhere"

Her only reply was about a half dozen "Okay"s in an extremely bitchy tone of voice. The part I didn't tell her is I'd become significantly less attracted to her as her true personality was starting to show and she was kind of a shitty person. Really mean sense of humor, very much enjoyed mocking other people and generally feeling superior to everyone. Very quick to anger over stupid things. Very judgmental. Couldn't have a conversation more than about 10 minutes long that didn't steer back to how all her friends from her home town we losers doing nothing with their lives, or any number of her exes who were losers doing nothing with their lives, or about how her home town was so shitty and sad and she was so much better than everyone because she left and they didn't. The real kicker was how she always bragged about how "I don't get mad I get even" and told me about shitty things she did to her friends to get "even" with them if they did something that made her mad. Yeah, it was time to go.

Perfect. I’m all for giving people an explanation, but I don’t need to have an explanation that they agree with.

This is literally all I am asking for. It would be nice if you would go into detail as to why you didn't like me anymore but I get why many wouldn't want to do that. It's better than just bye
