I have had an ongoing email correspondence for a few years with a woman I met online. We have never met in person and I can assure you that the relationship was purely Platonic with no pretense of it being otherwise. A few months ago, the woman stopped answering my emails.

I really hate ambiguity in relationships. I know that it is all over, but I would really like formal closure. Would it be appropriate for me to write acknowledging the end of the relationship? No words of anger. I would say that I appreciated the relationship while it lasted, though I am disappointed in what I can only view as an act of cowardice in the way that it was terminated. I would further indicate that I neither want nor expect a reply, just the opportunity to put a formal end to things.

Anyone who has followed me here is likely aware that human relationships are not a strength of mine. In the grand scheme of things, it does not matter what I do, but I would like to avoid acting like a jackass.
