Why should you tell someone why you ended the relationship. Do you REALLY owe them an expanation?

resolved relationships should be completely resolved, meaning yes there should be an explanation no matter how the person may handle it.

Honey, you already admitted that the relationship was hard to handle. It's time to let it go. Perhaps you're annoyed that it wasn't you who ended it; or more probably that you were so easily replaced. Let it go. It's time for it to end and both of you need to get on with your lives.

I'd say...I jumped into this relationship and now I regret it. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I need out. Then, leave. You are right, if you keep on it will hurt more later and I promise you...the longer you wait, the harder it will be to do.

He may be trying to do either.  Just remind him that you are now ex-partners, and he needs to keep his social life to himself.  Refuse to get involved in this sort of discussion.  Sounds like it was a good idea to break it off.  He doesn't have clear boundaries.

I've been the guy who pined after an ex (girlfriend in my case) to the point it almost cost me my relationship.  My girlfriend at the time issued the ultimatum.  "Give up the torch you're carrying, or the relationship is over."  I gave up the torch and was glad she'd forced me out of the rut. \n\nMen (and women) often continue to pine over a lost relationship because the feeling is familiar and therefore comfortable.  People often stay in painful mental places because it's less scary than letting go and entering the unknown.  Most times that unknown is LESS painful than pining away over a lost love, but the risk is scary.\n\nThere's also the possibility that he fears that she'll come back for him just after he takes the final steps away.  It may be she's encouraging him to think she might come back just to mess with his head.  It might be that he is generating his own fear of lost opportunity.  \n\nIn the end, you want nothing to do with him if he is still pining for her.  Give him the ultimatum.  Cease and desist all contact with her or get the hell out.  His reaction should be very enlightening.

What possible reason would you have to call your ex other than to get back together!

Sweetie...what would be the point of continuing the relationship?\n\nYou would en up being miserable in the end and when that happens you will say to yoruself, "Why didn't I just leave when he said he no longer loved me?"  This just saves you some time and gets you on the road to recovering from this relationship faster.

Have you told him. Chances are he will let you down easy and that will give you the closure you need to move on

actually i did not do anything just to get even with my ex, no need. because if you really wanted to move on you dont have to get even just to show him that you're now a better person without him, well that is not the basis for that. just do whatever you want to do, without being affected or it is because you're just doing all those things its because you wanted to get even,it only means that you're not yet over with that guy.so the best thing to do is once you already have a new relationship is you have to show all the love and respect to that particular person.so dont use your ex just to get even, just move on with your life.. and be thankful instead that he became part of your life =)

It sounds like you want closure for this relationship ended badly.  All I can do is tell you to follow your heart.

you should be honest with him because you would want to know if you were in his position,and if you tell him and he freaks out and don't want to date you anymore than it wasn't meant to be anyway. plus, he's probably going to find out soon or later and it's best if it's from you. good luck

You need closure. Tell him how you feel and explain that if you did not tell him, you'd explode. Then tell him that that's just it, that you're willing to give him the freedom he wants and for your part, you are doing your share of getting over him soon. This transition "rite" would formalize your breakup and should clarify things for both of you that you don't have to play the waiting game anymore. Afterwards, forget about him and move on.

You need to think about why the relationship ended in the first place. Somebody was obviously unhappy. If you truly believe things have changed then all you can do is let her know that, tell her the door is open and let her make her own decision. If you try to do too much to influence her you will turn into a bunny boiler. Just concentrate on being happy by yourself and making your life as full and enjoyable as you can. Someone will see you for who you arw and fall in love with you, either your ex or someone completely new! Just enjoy it cos we're only here once.

it depends on whether you're leaving on good terms or not. If you are then appearing to be apologising for leaving is good. If not, then what i did with Royal Mail was tell them the truth about their company and why i was leaving. At the very end tell them you don't expect to hear from them again, as if proving their faults. That was the cleanest out from a company as there was no more hurt.

Yes, or you would've never had closure! You would have been miserable, and wondered, and wondered,... what could have been if you could have just told her. Now, you both know and its up to her do something about it. Good Luck! God Bless You!

No, it just means your ex-friend is being nosy.  If your ex wants to know why you broke up, tell him to ask you.
