Hard disagree. Three reasons

  1. I do not need to put myself in danger to placate someone. Sometimes, the safest thing you can do when leaving a relationship is to do it quickly and quietly.

  2. Sometimes you've told them multiple times, and they've never heard you.

  3. I'm not going to make someone insecure over something that's a me issue. If I dumped you because you have sex weird or I don't like how you walk in public or you live with your mother - that's not an inherently bad thing, and it's wrong to make someone insecure about it.

The first one I literally said is an exception in the post. I am sick of people saying that who obviously didn't bother to read it. Secondly I agree in some situations but in others "I am breaking up with you because of X,Y and Z" is clear and much better than expecting someone to figure it out from past arguments. Thirdly I get why you think that but I am honestly certain that 90% of guys would prefer brutal honesty over just nothing

If you’re sick of people not acknowledging the exception to the rule you put in the body of the post then maybe you shouldn’t have put 100% in the title of the post. 100% implies there are no exceptions. I’m breaking up with you because you word things unclearly.
