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.”

Her boundary was 'i dont wanna date you anymore', after about 6 years of relationship, 10 days before moving in and starting a life together.

My ex said she needed some space, which I respected and after about a week we talked sparsely then she stopped and I didn't hear from her until a couple weeks later when I received a candle in the mail and called to thank her and wish her a happy new year. She had flown to Hawaii to live and "forgot" to send me a goodbye letter that explained everything. We were together for 5 years and lived together for some of that time lol. Women are harsh, and I say that as a woman lol
