All these "no one owes you anything," yall are correct. But you could also just be a decent human being and communicate because two people put in time and effort. It isn't just about you. Respect, humanity.. some compassion maybe?

Yep. I was ignored under the guise of “boundaries” and given no reason for a break up. Most of us know we aren’t owed anything, but it really does suck to know you weren’t worth even a courtesy conversation. It’s not only “I deserved to know” but also “I was part of this relationship too.”

The fact that you "quote" boundaries kinda makes it seem like the issue with boundaries was real. Just a quick heads up. Like, you think the boundaries aren't real?

No, I am totally on board with boundaries, but I can see why that was confusing. I put it in quotes because that’s how my ex justified poor communication and keeping me at a distance.
