Filer à l'anglaise - this is how the phrase "Leave in English" sounds in the original. But, oddly enough, this phrase is in French, not English. The fact is that the phrase "leave in English" belongs to the French.
The appearance of this expression is due to the French prisoners of war who, during the Seven Years' War, left the location of the unit on their own. And then the British had a sarcastic expression: "To take French leave" (to leave in French). In turn, the French, in retaliation to the English turned this expression, and it became such a "Filer à l'anglaise" (in English it sounds: "To take English leave"), it means "Leaving in English."

- The other is that in France there was such a tradition.
However, the British attributed this bad habit to the French, and those in turn to the Germans.

So, why do men leave in English? Yes, because it's just hard for men, looking into your eyes, to say that the relationship has come to an end . They are easier to say: "Tomorrow I'll call" and leave than: "Farewell, we part." This saves them from finding out the relationship, as well as your hysterics, tears and reproaches. It's easier for a man to leave without explaining anything than listening to all this.
