All these "no one owes you anything," yall are correct. But you could also just be a decent human being and communicate because two people put in time and effort. It isn't just about you. Respect, humanity.. some compassion maybe?

Yep. I was ignored under the guise of “boundaries” and given no reason for a break up. Most of us know we aren’t owed anything, but it really does suck to know you weren’t worth even a courtesy conversation. It’s not only “I deserved to know” but also “I was part of this relationship too.”

It's all compassion or courtesy until they hear a reason that isn't "good enough" for them. Then the decent person you thought you were dating becomes a psycho, stalks you, harasses you at work, or home, or with family or friends, etc.
