How to Break Up with Someone?

When you fall in love with someone and start dating them, you develop an intimacy that goes beyond the physical. It is hard to let go of someone with whom you have been emotionally connected but more often a relationship runs its course.

Such situations can be hard and stressful to deal with as it is hard to break up with the person that you have seen for long. In case you are facing such an issue and wondering how to break up with someone nicely and still be friends, let us help you out with that.

When a relationship is heading south, and you know that there is no future for it, then it is better to end it rather than dragging it along. Sometimes people are not willing to let go of their partner only because they are scared of being alone or they feel that after sharing years of togetherness, they have an obligation to be a part of each other's life. When a person or a relationship gives you no reason to stay then, the intelligent thing would be to walk out. Though you have to be careful about how you talk to your partner about ending the relationship, after all, you have shared a lot of beautiful moments together, and it would be wrong just to end everything abruptly.

How To Break Up With Someone You Love?

It is immensely tough to break up with someone you love, but at times when the relationship or the person concerned becomes too toxic for you, then the intelligent thing would be to let them go.  Before this though make sure you want to break up because if you are unsure and would want to get back with the person again then it can lead to a whole lot of awkwardness.

How To Break Up With Someone Nicely?

Firstly, avoid breaking up with someone over text or email. As hard as it might sound, an open dialogue that happens face to face is how one should really end a relationship. It is disrespectful towards the other person as well if you will not tell them in person why you don't wish to be with them. Secondly, don't bring on the news very abruptly as it might shock the other person and they would react badly. You need to bring out the news smoothly and give them solid reasons as to why the relationship is not working. For all, you know your partner may not be very happy as well but is not brave enough to bring it out on the table. Also, make sure you both meet in a neutral territory while discussing the matter as this way no one would over react in such a high emotional situation, and if it gets too bad, you can always find an escape route out.

How To Break Up With Someone Nicely And Still Be Friends?

First of all, this is not always possible as the other person can be too emotionally hurt to want to be friends with you. So, the only thing you can do is first take the high road, don't ever insult or put down your ex, things may not have worked out, but that does not mean you would degrade them. Be courteous, polite and act like a gentleman or lady and don't give them a reason to be bitter about you. This is the first step to being friends with your ex. Another thing you can do is give them time, the transition from being together, to breaking up and then being friends is full of emotional ups and downs, so give the other person some space and time to recover.
