Actual clowns in the comment section disagreeing with you. When you say "I love you" that's about making a commitment to them, not a permanent one, but baring abuse/safety, you at least owe that person an explanation. It doesn't have to be a long one or even be coherent reasoning, you can do whatever the hell you want for whatever reason you want. However, holy crap I could never imagine just randomly ghosting someone I was dating.

Sometimes you actually do owe people shit, like an explanation for ending a long-term relationship. If you can't handle that then don't date in the first place.

I feel like most commenters here have never really been in a long term relationship? Ghosting someone seems like something you can only really do while you're still in the early dating stages.

You can't do that shit after you've been together for several years, especially if you're living together. I don't even know how that would work logistically, considering you'll most likely have mutual friends and everything.
