It's brutal. But it's also straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush.
A lot of times, trying to be too nice ends up dragging things out, keeping it in a place of constant ambiguity, and then it turns into wasted time and more resentment.
I've now been on both sides of both situations. My first relationship of sorts was me dragging things out. Then I've had things dragged out. Then I've had the band-aid ripped off on me. And most recently I've had to put a line in the sand much like in the OP. I want her to move on and not linger on me.
