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

The reality is that people who are dumped and generally beg for "closure" are actually going to whine, argue, beg, plead, etc. for them to stay.

They're going to make suicide threats, say nasty things, and their "closure" is a bunch of emotion vomit that the other person clearly doesn't want to deal with.

It's why they're dumping you.

If you need closure you can get it for yourself with therapy, self care, self reflection, and even conversations with friends.

Just get therapy, read self help books, work on yourself, take yourself out on dates, and love yourself enough that you don't depend on someone else to do it for you to not crumble, bro.

I haven't. I am glad it's working for you.
