True, but who ever thinks from a value ethics perspective when it comes to human relationships?

At some point from a value ethics perspective, the mental calculation says stop destructively throwing good effort into a black hole.

Aah yes! The everlasting conundrum involved with many, if not most, failed relationships!

While you may benefit from having a conversation and trying to resolve conflict or find closure, it is reasonable to assume that others, at times, will weigh the benefits and risks of talking and determine that moving on, without talking, is less risky and more beneficial. This can be incredibly difficult to accept when we find ourselves on the side of conflict that wants to work things out or find closure.
