Why do women feel men owe them an explanation for dumping them? Women reject men all the time with no explanation. So what makes it any different?

Question

I feel everyone needs an explanation for why they are being dumped , it’s the respectful thing to do , but sadly a lot of people are selfish and disrespectful and only really care about themselves and what they feel is best for themselves , which is sadly pathetic of them to do. When a partner doesn’t disclose why they are dumping their partner , the partner being dumped is left with constant question marks over their head as to why they are being dumped , which can result in them feeling depressed and sad about themselves or could result in them assuming they did something wrong without really knowing what they did wrong. So the respectful thing to do is just be honest about why you are dumping someone so they can move on themselves. Whether it hurts their feelings or not , it’s better to have an answer than no answer at all. If the dumper is scared to say it to their face then say it to them in a letter or an email or text message. When my brothers’ wife left him , she gave him no explanation why because she is selfish POS person that I hope tots in hell , my brother went through a deep depression because he has no clue what he did for her to leave him like she did. So I called her myself and demanded that she tell him the reason why , and told her no matter the reason tell him , so he can move on because he loved you with all his heart. She then confessed she met someone else , and I said that’s fucked up but still tell him so he can move on, so she finally told him the truth and my brother now had an answer and was able to move on. Selfish people should not get into relationships at all , because all they care about is themselves. I can’t stand selfish people period

Entitlement generally comes with narcissism though it’s one side they feel entitled do dump someone at any time without a exclamation however if it’s not on their terms they get pretty upset. Even if they were going to dump someone themselves. They lost the upper hand and control over it.

Rejecting someone… You’re not entitled to anybody point blank. I don’t care if you’re male or female. Male narcissists display this behavior too where they feel as if women owe them something they won’t take a shower or brush their teeth but want a supermodel woman.

For dumping someone. If you been with someone a long time it’s cowardly to dump someone and walk away. While you can legally do it… It does hurt. That I agree is wrong no matter whose doing it.

It’s not that women always expect an explanation, but often it comes down to emotional investment. If things felt serious or emotionally connected, being "dumped" without context can feel confusing or hurtful.

Yes, rejection happens on both sides, but people (not just women) generally appreciate clarity when feelings are involved. It’s more about closure than entitlement.

Dumping and rejecting are 2 different things. You have to know that before asking about this.

OneViewpoint · Answer

It is the same thing. Exactly the same thing. And I don't know why these wimps need an explanation or "closure". 1 - Most people can't or won't articulate the real reason to themselves. Do you actually believe you're gonna get objective truth from them in a moment where they just want to be done with you? 2 - Will whatever they say give you back the 2 years (or whatever) that you just wasted on them. Will it make you feel any better about being dumped. 3 - Getting over it is completely up to you and how you handle it. So handle it and move on.

Further question, given an answer, does it satisfy them? What do you do with an answer like, "You were pushing marriage and I don't like that" or "I just wanted sex and I've had it so bye" or "I know you cheated on me." What answer makes "It's over" less painful?

Ironco · Answer

When a woman rejects and no longer likes a man, all a man can do is move forward and walk away. An explanation would be nice, but if it doesn't come there's nothing I can do about it.

As far as a woman, expecting an explanation. If I was to reject the woman, I would tell her right away so we can both move on. I've never been one to wait and see what kind of drama will happen.

That's just me though.

I told my ex I did not see a future with us together. The real reason was that communication was dwindling, her brother told me to leave her (no, he did not hate me, we were very close), and I started getting feelings for her BFF after we started talking more.

No, I did not go for the bestie.

There isn't really an explanation that the other person will ever like, so the best you can do is try to be gentle and understanding, but you have to be sort of keep it brief to keep them from thinking they can finagle you into staying with them when you really need to move on. And if the other person is mad you just have to get out of there.

Because contemporary Western women are children in adult bodies. Responsibility and obligation are words that are not in entitled princesses vocabulary.

You're making yourself look like an idiot my stereotyping. Just because YOU are like that doesn't mean women in general are. Stop thinking we all like you and utilise your brain.

Apart from cheating and refusing sex, the leading cause of dumping has to be bad attitude. None of these should come as a surprise.

slatyb · Answer

Some women do, some men do. The thing is that a woman rejecting a man has to be careful not to make him angry because he could kill her.

The reason society is like this is because it is evil.

Do they? I never knew that... on the other hand, I never had a relationship, so naturally, I don't know that kind of stuff.
