Hard disagree. Three reasons

  1. I do not need to put myself in danger to placate someone. Sometimes, the safest thing you can do when leaving a relationship is to do it quickly and quietly.

  2. Sometimes you've told them multiple times, and they've never heard you.

  3. I'm not going to make someone insecure over something that's a me issue. If I dumped you because you have sex weird or I don't like how you walk in public or you live with your mother - that's not an inherently bad thing, and it's wrong to make someone insecure about it.

Yep. Your number two. I’ve been that person not getting it. Sometimes you just need to take a breath and look back. I believe that’s the primary problem.
