“Break up is the termination of an intimate relationship by any means other than death”
Break up is such a common occurrence nowadays that from youngsters to adults everyone is busy breaking up. The dumpers are happy dumping and, the dumpees don’t care about being dumped. The only explanation I find for this is that people are not serious today in the relationships they build with others. People are misinterpreting the meaning of love with attraction. Of course, there are certain toxic relationships in our lives that we need to end, but it needs a lot of courage to end relations which were built by putting in a lot of efforts.
So, if you are going to dump someone and you are still worried about how to manage the situation, here is a little help for you on how to break up with someone.
BEFORE THE BREAKUP
Be Patient
Remember that you have not taken this decision overnight. You have thought about it a lot. You have spent many nights thinking about how to make things work and sobbing your heart out. But, there is a reason why you are today in this position. It’s very normal to feel this way but trust me to stick to your decision and you will be proud of yourself later.
Set Your Mind
It is pretty obvious that when you are with a person for a long time you somehow get emotionally attached to them. And when you are going to break them emotionally you will get hurt yourself. So before breaking up sit down and list the reasons why you want to break up and be sure of your decision.
Choose an Appropriate Place
When you are going to break up, you are definitely going to hurt their feelings. But choosing a private kind of place can help both of you to understand each other. This will give them time to understand your decision too. They deserve to know the reason for rejection. But if you choose a place where you have to hide your emotions and feelings, then you would not be able to express yourself and believe me, you will regret this your entire life.
Be Prepared
It really doesn’t matter whether you are hurt or not but the one person who is definitely going to hurt is the person you are going to dump. No one likes rejection. They may act violently or may cry a lot so you have to be prepared for it. Maybe it is their way to tackle this situation. You can’t stop them from doing it. After all, you are the last person they want to see right now, but you did this just for yourself. So you don’t have to blame yourself.
