Why and How Do Breakups Happen?
Most of us enter relationships with the hope that we will never have to end them.
Ending a relationship is one of the most difficult things we have to do.
Every relationship is different, and every person in a relationship is different.
Recognize That It’s Never Easy
Understand that there is no pain-freeway to break up.
We all wish that we could end relationships without any hurt or pain.
But no matter how broken the relationship is, officially ending it will cause pain on both sides.
Why do the same to another person?
Your partner deserves the dignity of a face-to-face conversation.
Ifyou are at the point of breaking up, nothing can restore or revive the relationship now.
Giving in will only delay the inevitable.
Make a Clean Break
Do not suggest you stay friends.
Avoid saying “let’s stay in touch.”

Show Empathy

you could soften the blow a little by talking about some of the good times you shared together.
Avoid Blaming or Shaming
Avoid turning the other person into “the bad guy.”
They may have done some bad things, likecheating, but they are human too.
This is one of the most difficult parts of figuring out how to break up with someone you love.
Realize that you will also need to adjust to your new situation.
If you reach out with kindness and compassion, things will be much easier for everyone.
