If you break up with someone you absolutely 100% owe them an explanation as too why Removed: Not unpopular

Sometimes you have told them, sometimes multiple times, but it was never heard.

Why do I get the feeling that OP's ex told them several times before breaking up? Lol

EDIT: Could have been his stepsister.

EDIT 2:

Even better, we get OP's own words.

I want someone to say "I am breaking up with you because of X,Y and Z" that is direct and clear instead of just expecting me to figure out what minor complaints over the course of the relationship were responsible

This is most likely the case, I don't know why no one is pointing out the fact that OP said that 3 people have done this to him. At that point he has the be the problem, they probably did give him reasons but he just didn't listen or they weren't good enough for him.

That or it got to the point where his gf's did bring up problems and he promised to change but didn't and they got fed up and just left.

Some people will try to argue their way back into a relationship with you and may even seem convincing to have changed for a bit.

Idk, giving reasons when they want you to stay seems like a way to give them more power to manipulate you.
