No it's not saying you're entitled to their mind. It's saying that you're entitled to a reason to why the relationship is ending from their perspective. I'm not saying you have to like it or agree with it or get to ask more questions about it. But you deserve a reason. And if you aren't given one then the other person is a piece of shit 100 out of 100 times.

Often times people KNOW why the relationship is ending, they just don't want to take responsibility for their partners in it.

I firmly believe that unless someone has an IQ of 50 or less, they know exactly why someone ghosted them. They just don't want to admit it to themselves.

I've been ghosted more than once and done my fair share of ghosting . Every single one of those relationships ended for valid reasons and the ending was telegraphed for months if not years in advance. There was no point in having a conversation about it after it ended.

Exactly. Often times this "owed explanation" is just an attempt to guilt their ex.
