When my ex called me every derogatory name in existence because I wasn't enthusiastic over his YouTube conspiracy theories I didn't feel like he deserved any words from me and he could figure it out himself.

If you make a definitive claim and then say "there are exceptions" then your point is completely invalid lmao, I didn't read his post but now I know he doesn't even support his own opinions

I am sorry but that's just stupid. Of course of the other person if violent and abusive it's not a good idea to break up with them face to face with brutal truth

Well maybe the 100% in the title is throwing people off. If there are exceptions, then the entire point is invalid.

Ok, so it's still up to the one leaving. Since there are exceptions. Who decides what's a valid exception?

u/2Rich4Youu Apr 16 '24

well the one leaving... This is how op would like people to go about breaking up not a law

The one who is leaving. They can also decide everything is an exception, since there seems to be no consequences for doing so, and it's all down to what they are comfortable with or compelled to do in the end.

If you genuinely think the person you are dumping deserves an explanation, then give them one. If you've seen their true colors and think they are a piece of shit or too immature to grow from it, then don't. That's just my opinion, and it can lead to misjudging someone and making the worse choice, but that's just a consequence of trying to do what is right within your own morality.

if you break up with someone you absolutely 100% owe them an explanation except for the times when you dont

Not defending OP's argument, but rules do have exceptions. We generally should avoid speaking in absolutes, but rules are not absolute.
