Breakups are no fun at all, but they are a simple fact of life. If you're ready to call things off with your boyfriend or girlfriend, but don't know how to do it, then follow these four easy breakup tips.
If you've been in a long relationship or think your partner doesn't realize that you aren't happy, then it's even more important that you follow these breakup tips. A polite and clean breakup will almost always leave the possibility of a makeup.
Here are the four most important breakup tips:
1. Be honest and never lie. If you want to stay on good terms with your soon-to-be ex, then be sure that you can at least partially explain why you need to break up. Don't lie or make up excuses because that will only upset your ex.
2. Break up in person! If you aren't in middle school, then it's never appropriate to break up with a text message, email or Facebook message. In some very exceptional circumstances (like living on the other side of the planet) it may be permissible to break up over the phone. Honestly, if your significant other is less than 5 hours by car from your house, then break up in person.
3. Don't blame anyone. There's no point in airing all of your dirty laundry when you break up. Don't list all of your grievances with your ex. Remember, the goal of these breakup tips is to have a smooth and non-confrontational breakup.
4. Mean what you say. If you're telling your partner that it's over, then it really should be over -- at least for a few weeks. There's no point in follow up phone calls or any other contact with your ex. Remind yourself that you ended it for a reason and move on with your life.
Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.
