In the event where action means more than words, you have to remember that sometimes the inaction to do anything can mean just as much or even much more; and can be interpreted in a number of ways you do not even realize. Oftentimes I forget that even in situations where you were not the one who walked away, you have to realize you also did not chase after what you still wanted, what you are still waiting for — and in a way, that was you subconsciously choosing not to fight for it at all. So in cases like these, we cannot always blame the other person for hurting us by choosing not to stay, because sometimes it is our own fault for just letting it happen without doing anything about it; because regardless of who initiates the idea of it first, every relationship, whether you realize it or not, requires a decision from both sides on whether it has come to an end or not. And usually what is the most painful about it, is not the fact that it ended, but the sad fact that the other person has given in and agreed by not saying anything at all.
