How to End a Relationship
It can be very hard to end a relationship, as both of you have seen bright and dark side of life together. But there comes a time, when a relationship has to be called off, due to various reasons...
- If you want to end a relationship, do it in person rather than breaking up via an sms or email or even over the phone. Respect that person even if you want to break-up.
- Be honest on why you want to break-up and don't turn it into a blame-game, as it may lead to more arguments and discussions.
- Choose an appropriate place to break the news. It is better to avoid crowded places in case there could be a scene. Look for a location where you can be assured of privacy, as tears and tantrums are bound to follow.
- Give your partner a chance to express his feelings and his take on the break-up. This would help both of you as you've given a chance to clarify issues.
- Try to control your emotions and feelings. Tears and depression are bound to follow but you need to take it in your stride and remember that time is the best healer.
- Talk to each other on why you want to end the relationship. It should be a mutual decision and things should be sorted out amicably.
- Learning to control your temper will be a good option. Remember screaming and getting angry at each other may only make matters worse. It's okay to cry and get upset if you feel miserable, but don't mess up a delicate situation or create a scene as it will not help.
- Be humble and accept your mistake if you are wrong. If the other person is at fault, then explain it to him in a gentle manner rather than being harsh.
- Provide reasons for your break-up, rather that letting the other person wonder what went wrong.
- Make up your mind if you want to end the relationship. Be firm in your decision and don't have any wavering thoughts.
- Take time to think and also analyze whether you really want to break-up and on what grounds are you giving up the relationship.
- Meet your partner and settle any unsolved concerns or issues that you've had, before breaking up so that you don't harbor any bitter feelings towards each other.
