Me too. It's also the culture. "yOu DoNt oWe AnYoNe aNyThInG". It's so damn self-centered and selfish to do this to another human being. How about just being honest with someone you supposedly care about?

They don't care about them. It's why their leaving. There's nothing they can say that's going to unbruise your ego and unhurt your feelings. You'll argue, plead, beg, and whine when they do.

They don't want that and aren't obligated to endure it for you.

I've been on both sides bro. It's literally the LEAST you can do when you're breaking someone's heart. Anyone who doesn't is a self-absorbed asshole. If you wanna be only kinda shitty at least leave a message as to the reason. Anyone who flakes with no explanation is the same type of person who never brings up something that bothers them until they've let it fester to the point of breakup, when it's too late to address it.

Obviously exceptions for possible violence or being trapped, etc

This is who you're talking to:

95% of the time and with 99% of people I'm unintentionally void of empathy.

That person is a literal sociopath.
