I understand style of communication and have the same style but not with men I broke up with. With the ones I am with and my friends I do have this style too-actively communicating. Must we actively communicate with everyone we dated? I don’t think so

People break up for a reason. It was a short romance and at some point one of you need to stop communication. Yeah he could reply something nice but then you’d reply back as it’s rude not to reply and it would be rude for him not to reply again. If you are broken up how do you stop the cycle if you always have to reply to each other.

Of course you don’t mesh well and that’s why you aren’t together. I am just surprised you expect active communication going after break up. It was a brief romance and it’s ok to move on. You expected something from him he couldn’t deliver while you were dating and now you are broken up, you still expect something he can’t and doesn’t want to deliver.
Thanks for this!
