Ways to break someone’s heart gently

People always assume that breakups are no big deal to the one who initiated the end of the relationship. That is why most love advice is for those who were dumped rather than the one who dumped them.

What people don’t realize is that being the one to end the relationship isn’t easy either.

In fact, it is difficult and drains one’s energy. Then there’s the delicate matter of ending the relationship as easily as possible because you wouldn’t want to hurt your partner.

Here are some tips to gently break up with your partner:

1. As honestly as you can, explain to your partner the reason for the breakup. Be short and to the point. Try not to sound brutal, even if there is a fight between the two of you. Don’t make it a finger-pointing game to avoid any bitterness.

2. With the above point in mind, even if you are honest, remember to be kind. Although it is inevitable that they will break up sooner or later, let him know that he cares about her partner. However, remind him of the reason why the relationship will not work out in the future.

3. Do a disappearing act when you’re done with the relationship. Serious all kinds of connection with your partner. Also remember not to go to places you usually go to. You need them to have their space so that they accept the breakup.

4. After the break up, you may feel like you would like to call them when you are happy or sad or just when you have news to share. This is probably a habit that you have developed while you were still together.

Of course you’ll want to stay friends, but don’t do it so soon after the breakup; they need their space to think things through. Therefore, it is very important that you cease all contact.
