My ex-fiance and I just ended our relationship. Should I clarify to him what went wrong from my point of view or should I just move on? I just want to move on with my life but I wouldn't want things to stay in bad terms. I really do appreciate him as a person but it just wasn't working. On the other hand, if I try to make him understand what went wrong from my point of view, I may make the break up more complicated than it needs to be for both of us. Should I just let him think whatever he wants then? Also he wants me to mail the engagement ring. I'm not sure if its the best idea to send it via mail. Thanks for any advice you can give me
Re: moving on
Who called off the engagement?
If you do mail the ring, make sure you insure the hell out of it and require a return receipt. That way he can't play any funny "it got lost in the mail, you owe me $X000 now" games.
I say just be done with it. You don't need to explain yourself.
You have nothing to explain. It was a break-up because it wasn't working. End of story. It doesn't matter what he thinks about it or you. Just let it be. In fact, trying to explain yourself will just make it more complicated and frustrating. Break ups happen to good people.
Mail the ring, registered and with insurance. Don't use it as an excuse to see him again.
