Have you ever heard about a person who stays in a relationship out of pity, or that you are actually in one? Breaking up is like being between a rock and a hard place; you are in an unhappy relationship and yet you find it hard to hurt your partner's feelings.
Reality is that, when you want to end a relationship, it takes a lot of courage and bravery, even for those who are considered heartless.
Knowing how to end a relationship may help you.
Here are some tips: 1) Know Exactly What You Want If you think you need to break up with someone that you still have feelings for, you must be very certain about it.
Make a list of the reasons why you think that you need to break up with him or her.
Recall all the things that you have said and done to make the situation better (to no avail) while going through the list.
A good example is that you are depressed because of your partner's criticism about you.
Although he or she does not assault you physically, it is not right to be in a relationship with an abuser.
Love should not hurt.
2) No Calls, No Texts, No Emails Always have the decency to end a relationship face to face.
Although it's hard for you to end the relationship, it is harder for your partner to absorb the situation.
If you have been cowardly in the relationship, this is the time to be brave and courageous; breaking up via email, phone, text messages etc.
will only prove that you are more cowardly.
It's only fair for the both of you to get a proper closure (you via the break up, your partner an explanation).
3) Like Any Difficult Situations, It's Always Good To Be Prepared You would not go into battle without any strategic plan, would you? Or, you would not go to an interview without reading up first about the company, will you? Same goes to breaking a bad news to another person.
Always be prepared.
Have a plan on how to handle your partner's reactions to the news...
and this will come down to his or her personality.
Remain calm, stand your ground and be civil and tactful about it.
4) Don't Give A Glimmer of Hopes To Reconcile This is important in not only your partner's healing process but also yours.
Do this by making him or her understand that the relationship is over as soon as you can.
Don't say things like, "I hope we can still be good friends after this.
" 5) Give A Helping Hand...
Indirectly Be serious about the break up and avoid your partner as much as you can after wards.
Give them enough time to recover and get over the break up.
When I say avoid, it's not only through physical and visual contact only; cut all communications all together.
No emails, no instant messages, no SMSes.
Although this may be cruel, it will definitely help them heal.
Pity is not a reason to stay.
Imagine how would you feel if your partner is only with you out of sympathy? It's better to live a single life happy than be in a couple where you are miserable.
