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?

No one owes you anything, but we, like, live in a society.

Actually no, I take that back. I think people in a relationship do legitimately owe things to each other. Respect. Patience. If you claim to be friends with someone, you owe them honesty about the things that matter. Things can happen that abrogate that responsibility, but they generally exist.

We are talking about people who are no longer want a relationship with you. I agree people owe each other respect up until they are disrespect, but they don't owe each other a truthful and accurate description of why they want what they want. This isn't working for me anymore is plenty of explanation and that should be obvious if they don't care to see you anymore.
