How Should You Go About Ending a Relationship?
It might not be working or there are other variables involved that make it necessary to end the relationship as opposed to going on.
How should this break up be done? First of all, have some guts and do it face to face.
Sending texts, email, or a even a quick phone call will make the person feel even worse about it.
Do it face to face so that the full range of emotions can be seen and expressed.
If the relationship is not working out, breaking it off sooner is better than waiting for later.
What many do is stay in the relationship that they know is not going to work; until something better comes along.
That's disrespectful to the other person who is really trying to make the relationship work.
Don't try to ignore the relationship and hope the other person breaks up with you.
This is a very weak thing to do.
This shows a definite lack of character.
Also, please do not try to think of a plan to hurt the person so they will go away.
Respect the person's very real feelings.
When you break up with the person be fair and straightforward.
Give some reasons as to why you are breaking up but at the same time be tactful towards the person.
Be prepared to answer the question, "Why?" This will be asked many times as you give your reasons.
If they care about you, they are going to try to combat your reasons to try to figure out how to make it all work.
You have to be prepared for them to do this since it's only natural they would defend the relationship they care about.
While it may not feel good, you really should be prepared and expect a personal attack.
If there has been any resentment held back in the relationship, it's all going to come out when you break up with the person.
This is to be expected at times such as this.
It is a normal response.
Just as the ever popular song goes, breaking up really is something that is hard to do.
When you end a relationship, you need to go about doing it with tact and respect for the person in mind.
After all, just stop and think of why it was exactly that you chose to be with that person in the first place.
