Some may know I had a partner. Upon being inpatient and seeing how the relationship was triggering for not only myself, but for my ex, I made what I believe to be a logical and mature decision on ending the relationship. She agreed, and we ended that part of our relationship calmly and maturely.

Those who haven't been mature; Her friends.

It's turned into a ridiculous "contest" of sorts as to who can complicate a simply non-complicated break up. I have been called cold hearted because I haven't cried, because I didn't "fight". That I "tricked" her into loving me just to have her attention... even though this break up was a healthy, mutual agreement.

Not only did I NOT want to hurt her, after a suicide attempt I am well aware I need to keep myself safe. This is why it was mutually decided that it was a good idea. We do not hate each other. Yet, at the end of the day, I have been called some very horrid things. The most G rated being

"Robot"
"Heartless"
"Bastard"
"Selfish"
etc, etc

Why is it seen in society as a robotic move to approach external relationships with a logical mind? Would it have been kinder, more romantic, if I dragged the both of us down? Would I be a better person if I convinced her that staying with me may cause her depression/anxiety to flare, but it will be worth it because it's "true love"?

I feel certain in her and my own decision. But I simply don't understand why it is charming and acceptable to keep an unhealthy relationship going, but getting out of it with all parties safe, is shameful.
