How to Break up Decently?

Breaking up with someone is not an easy task. It is painful and draining for both the parties, most of the times. Here are some tips which can help you in breaking the news to your partner in a civilized manner:

First of all, try to find the best way to communicate your decisions to your partner, whether you want to do it in person, on phone or email. Prepare yourself for not only what you are going to say but also how they are going to react and make a backup plan.

If your partner has not done anything wrong and you want to break up just because you don’t gel with each other then you should meet personally to talk about it because talking on the phone or by email is not only impersonal but also hurtful. Moreover, stay calm and collected when you discuss it with your partner. Be precise; don’t reminisce the past or things that went wrong. Dissecting it will not help any of you. Keep it clean as much as possible.

Don’t run from the situation. Once if you have decided that you are not happy with the person or you want to bring this relationship to an end then delaying it is not a good idea as your behavior towards your partner will change and this will make your partner more insecure and clinging, which will worsen the things.

Choose a place where they are not able to create a scene. Try to avoid public places and don’t drink before a breakup. It will not only weaken you but also make you less logical.

To make a relationship work both the partners need to be happy. There is no need to feel guilty or blame the other person. Being honest and open about the situation will make it easier for both of you to say goodbye. After the final breakup give yourself the time and space to heal. Don’t rush into another relationship.
