Interesting, I agree with you that in Yeshivish circles the shadchan should have made the call but Considering the reason the shidduch was called off wasn’t given I don’t blame the shadchan for getting upset and making the guy call himself. In more modern circles after only skyping with someone a few times you don’t even owe them a reason for ending the relationship. It does seem like the guy cancelled the trip for a valid reason figuring he didn’t want to waste anybody’s time. A decent guy with a proper reason should be able to make the phone call to the girl and explain why he thinks it won’t work out. Yes people feelings get hurt in shidduchim there’s no way around that but if his reason is valid than she should be able to understand and move on.
