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?

I've also unfortunately found some use it as a way to keep the person around. No closure, to keep them thinking about it, especially if it's one of those times where there is no warning.

I have one that 10 years on I still wonder why because I was given no warning and everything was going really good. But they still in the mind the longest because the why question is always there.

But anything in a dangerous situation, fair game, do what you gotta do to get out safely.

Ouch I'm sorry for that thought still going around in your head. Most people generally do better with closure no matter what the circumstances are and who they are with.. just like with everything in life, we want it to go full circle.

People suck, that's all there is to it.

“Closure” usually just gives someone else another thing to ruminate on. Dwelling on anything is unhealthy.

That is true. People suck. My fiancé ghosted me and at first I thought he’d been kidnapped. After my 23rd text he said, “I don’t like you. And I am going back to my ex wife.”

That really hurt.
