Sounds like you owe her a good explanation, or at least owe her spending enough time to convince her that you take the question seriously.

Tell her you don't date mean spirited people who are nasty unnecessarily about people's looks.

Try the truth, might be refreshing for a change.

I really went in with 100% sincere intentions.

Can't edit the title, I meant to say, "She is demanding an explanation for why I terminated the relationship"
WHY can't you just tell her what you've told us..a bunch of strangers?? "I really don't know what to say other than I am not feeling what I was in the beginning. "

Some people feel better, or think they will feel better (even though the actual reason may make them feel worse), if they receive a reason for why a relationship is ending. It's human nature. If you're not comfortable giving the reason, or just don't want to, that's your choice, but nobody's wrong for attempting to seek out the reason.

It is wrong and ridiculous to hound a person about the reason if they're choosing not to give one. But it's not wrong to want one. It's also not surprising when somebody wants to know a reason. It's pretty normal. It's also pretty normal to be able to accept it and move on, if somebody is just plain not going to give you one.

Ghost her. My guess is that is what she would have done to you.

I did do this though in a more diplomatic fashion than Chowhound noted above.

Her reply was: "Well, I was just joking around about that."

I didn't press her on that. Que sera sera.

She is now accepting that it is over and she is being polite and civil. Though another outburst could be just around the corner....LOL.

Why are you opting to continue to communicate with her?
