You're seeing someone, they want more, you propose it stays as it is and set some boundaries and they say no to that because they want more and you then don't see each other anymore?
Are you dumped? Would you take the answer of no as being dumped?
I would.

Person B wants more, person A says to keep as is with a set of boundaries, and person B says no.
So person B is the dumper and person A is the dumpee, yes? |

"Not dumped. Just not wanting the same thing. A mutual end. "
Would it be understandable if either one felt like they had been dumped in this scenario? |

Not to my mind. If no compromise is possible then there's no way forward. You've dumped each other |

No?
Both are suggesting parameters that the other doesn’t agree to. So it’s just a mutual end because no agreement can be made |

If you set a boundary and they ignore it or say no, that’s a huge red flag.
If they want to see you more but you don’t want to, that should lead to negotiations and understanding between both of you, thats about communication.
Ultimately if you both want different things then the relationship won’t work anyway |

Does it matter who ‘dumped’ who?
This fixation on who dumped who is kinda childish and fixates upon the basis that someone wins/loses by dumping/being dumped |

Of course. Feeling dumped is just a word for grieving a relationship. It’s natural. |

I think it would be very understandable for both parties to feel rejected as both want something with the other, just not the same thing.
I think anytime that you want to continue something but the other person doesn’t or can’t, for whatever reason, it’s natural to feel like you have been left. |

Personally I'd have used the word rejected had my proposal got a no, and if I wanted more with someone I'd have used the same word for that to because in effect it's still a proposal of sorts.
Agreed the word dumped is childish, and it's not necessarily about who was dumped it's more about the feeling either one would have in that scenario.
Interestingly I haven't seen anyone comment in a certain way over one aspect of it yet |

I would say Person A and Person B found some level of happiness for a while together but now they would be better off being single until they found a different person or persons that add to their own internal happiness  |

Schrödinger's Seperation.
Both side can feel their needs can't be met, and so both sides can feel that they have decided to say no to the relationship, or feel that the other person has.
You are both the dumper and dumpee. Or neither. Which answer do you want?
But at the end of it, this all feels like a better outcome than one person giving up a boundary.
Shit happens.
Sorry for your loss. Happy for your gain. |

I think if one party wants one thing and another doesn’t and it’s a bone of contention with one, then the best thing is probably to move on.
It’s all very well setting boundaries, but those boundaries are set by one person. The needs of one are being met (whoever way you look at it) and the other isn’t.
You can’t really compromise where feelings are involved. They tend to be very much all or nothing.
And the more healthy way to proceed is often a clean break. |

If the focus is unhappiness in the ending of what was had, why does it need to have a negative connotation? You can end things that don’t suit you and not be unhappy. Finding out someone you’re seeing isn’t the person for you because you have different needs and wants which you cannot compromise on mutually simply means you’ve done a job well done sorting out the person isn’t for you. You’ve enjoyed time with them and have memories that you can walk away with but it doesn’t need to be earth shattering that it’s over. See the happiness in what you did share together. |

That's very true isn't it, setting boundaries by one only caters for that one. The others needs aren't met.
I'd like to think the one that isn't having their needs met then says let's talk about this. If someone's setting boundaries surely the reason why needs exploring?
But yes you can't compromise on feelings, agree it's all or nothing usually. I guess if someone can show patience and give time before ending it that would be something. |

Just a mismatch in needs/aims resulting in failure of arrangement. It happens, its not a blame thing, no one is dumped. Its just not workable so has to end.
It's important to keep your boundaries and also to stay strong with your actions and messaging because sometimes others mask to themselves the reality of the situation. |

What does 'stays as it is mean', does it involve still being able to see other people for example?
The person may just be performing self preservation and having to pull back from a situation which they find difficult due to the fact they want more. |

I'm not sure who is who, but it sounded like A said I'm not having my needs met. Did B then say, thank you for telling me, let's explore this.
As it reads that B set boundaries without doing any exploring of As needs. That may just have been how the thread read for me tho. |
