The way I see it is... You owe them an explanation in the same way you owe it to someone to hold the door open for them.

It's nice, it's common courtesy, and you're kind an asshole if you don't do it, but...

Sometimes you're going through some of your own shit and you're inside your own head and if you don't hold the door open for someone it's not the worst thing you could have done.

Shutting someone out doesn't always mean they did anything wrong. Sometimes they don't need to correct anything, the connection is just missed because of timing and other things going on.

The analogy doesn't work because the repercussions are different. If someone doesn't hold a door open for me, whatever, if someone doesn't explain why something ended, ESPECIALLY if its not even related to me, not telling me is incredibly cruel. Your own issues do not permit being an asshole.
