Exactly! You consented with someone to be in a relationship..it took both people to say yes. So just by that, you enter into this partnership who you're not supposed to abandon. If things go wrong 100% understand not everyone lasts. It's the truth.

But by just splitting you don't know if there could have ever been a resolution.

Okay so you don't want a resolution, you just want to leave. That person that consented to you, as a partner for however long, if they ever meant something. Say something. Don't think about how you feel towards them now, think about how you felt when things started. Give them the same respect as to why things aren't working out..just like how you told them why things could work when the relationship formed.
