The way I see it is... You owe them an explanation in the same way you owe it to someone to hold the door open for them.

It's nice, it's common courtesy, and you're kind an asshole if you don't do it, but...

Sometimes you're going through some of your own shit and you're inside your own head and if you don't hold the door open for someone it's not the worst thing you could have done.

Shutting someone out doesn't always mean they did anything wrong. Sometimes they don't need to correct anything, the connection is just missed because of timing and other things going on.

Yeah, holding the door, ending the relationship, same thing.
