Breaking up with an ex can be one of the most difficult experiences in life, but it doesn’t have to be. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
Honesty
Just because you have to be honest doesn’t mean you have to be harsh.
Avoid using the old “it’s not just you but me” tactic.
Explain gently and kindly to your partner what you feel about, what was wrong or what went well.
Sooner is always better
Dragging it makes the situation a lot harder for the relationship in the long run.
This increases the chances of your partner learning from someone else about the eventual breakup.
At the same time, do not rush your conversation planning as you might regret it.
Confidence
It’s crucial to be 100% confident in your decision.
Talk to a friend or family member to express your feelings before entering the conversation.
Write a list of reasons why you want to move on from your relationship.
Respect
Always show respect to your soon to be ex partner. Avoid gossiping with your mutual friends.
Set up a meeting face to face rather than through text or phone.
You always want to remember the positive things about the relationship rather than the negative.
She/he can remain friends or resume their relationship in the future.
Breaking up with an ex is never easy, but following these steps can help make the process less painful and more manageable.
