Ending a relationship is never easy. Though many people
believe otherwise, ending a relationship can be just as emotionally exhausting
as getting dumped. Before making a decision to end a relationship, you should
always weigh the reasons for walking out. Once you are sure, though, it's
important to remember that your soon-to-be ex was once your love. You should be
honest without being cruel, and compassionate without giving the person hope.
Here's how to end a relationship while doing as little damage as you can.
STEPS
1. Make sure you want to end the relationship. Don't use the threat of leaving as a tool to get your
own way in an argument. If you say it, be prepared to back it up with the
action, or else take the threat off the table before you make it. Discuss
problems openly and directly with your partner before you make up your mind.
Many men and women suffer for years and never bring problems up with their
partners, which is what leads to many breakups.
