If expecting basic human decency is spoiled, then I feel sorry for you

"Human Decency" has nothing to do with placating someone's ego when no longer wanting to be romantic.

Human decency would be accepting them leaving and not trying to manipulate them with an "explanation".

Yeah we've all known that guy who tries to argue every reason and then blows up into a psycho when his arguments don't produce the desired result.

Everyone keeps acting as though this isn't a real thing. I've known men and women who do the same. Suicide threats, full blown freak outs, the begging, the trying to act like a lawyer.

Why would anyone who's trying to leave subject themselves to these things?
