That's so true bluegal she is such a sweet person. I think she also just doesn't want anyone to dislike her.

No - tell her to run for the hills and be thankful he has gone without fuss.

If she contacts, she only opens the doors and the cycle will start again.

She doesn't owe him any explanation and pointing out his flaws is NOT going to help him in other relationships. That is something he has to realise himself (if he wants to)

Tell her it isn't important what he thinks of her! She only has a duty to herself.

Let sleeping dogs lie
What’s she going to achieve by giving the real reason and putting the blame on him, what’s going to happen??? ... he’s a man with a temper .... need I say more
Is she really worried about what will happen in his next relationship or is she a bit peeved that he happily let her take the blame
Keep walking in the direction she’s facing daft if she backtracks

I just got off the phone with my best friend. She broke off her relationship of about a year with a man she really shouldn't of gotten involved with. They had many issues but one real important one was his temper which she tried to accept because in her words she realized it was " part of him". Having been married before to a man with a temper she was very sensitive mentally. Anyway she took all the blame in the breakup and they parted without anger. This happen yesterday and today she told me she can't get it out of her head she wasn't honest with him. She wants to write or message the real reason to him not to get back with him but maybe he would not think so badly of her and give him something to consider with his next relationship. I wasn't sure what to tell her. Seems it's just her wanting to feel better herself?
