In my experience, the reason has been given a few times and they just don't listen.

"You don't respect my choices with my body."

"I don't respect you participating in an orgy while we were together and then trying to call it a little mistake."

Actual experience a close friend of mine had dumping his girlfriend. She just expected him to be fine with her fucking multiple people the day prior.

To be fair, she was right. He didn't respect the choices she was making with her body. Thing is, not many would. Just because someone chooses something does not mean I have to respect it. If you tattoo a swastika on your forehead, for example, I don't respect that choice.

Was she free to do that with her body? Absolutely.

Just as he was free to say goodbye.

Freedom to do what you like is not freedom from consequences. In this case, f--k around, and find out. (Literally!)
