It’s getting difficult each moment to hang on to the relationship you’re intop. After a lot of brainstorming, you decide to call it off finally.
If it was difficult for you to take that decision, understand that it’s going to be equally difficult for your partner to hear it, rite? You must make sure that you put across the message in a way that would hurt them the least.
Following is the task simplified for you. Take care of the following in mind when breaking-up with your special one…
Talk it out
For heaven’s sake the person in question deserves to be told in person via verbal communication and not a text message. Shooting an e-mail or dropping in an sms is such purely bad manners. If you are not comfortable facing the person, at least talk to them over the phone.
Not a public place
You wouldn’t want your break-up to make National headlines, right? So, better not chose a public place for this extremely personal affair. You can’t be too sure of how your partner is going to react to the breaking news, so why take the risk of pacifying a sobbing or screaming soul in public?
No blame-game
Yes, you did have issues with your partner, and that is precisely why you decided to take a call. But that doesn’t mean that he/she is the only reason for the fallout. The relationship was between the two of you, so you’d be as much responsible for the break-up. Don’t blame it all on your partner; be a little sensitive (and sensible).
Hear it out
Maybe your partner would be out of words for a couple of moments, but hear patiently what follows. You’ve said what you had to, so give the other person a chance to talk and hear what they have to say.
Be prepared for the lull
Unless you have another option to fall back on, chances are that you would feel the emptiness and hollowness in your life. Remember, you talked it out and when it didn’t seem to workout, it was only then that you took this decision. You’d be tempted to make a call to know if he/she’s okay, but resist all temptations! If the feeling still trouble you, consult your friends and decide what’s to be done.
