How To Break Up With Someone You Love


Three Parts: Getting Yourself Ready, Breaking the News and Moving on After the Break Up

Sometimes you reach a point in a relationship at which you realize that you love the person you're with, but that you're no longer in love with them. While there's no right way to break up with someone, there are definitely certain things you can do (and not do) to make things easier for both parties.

  PART ONE: Getting Yourself Ready


1.       Be sure that you really want to permanently end the relationship

 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.       Prepare for the possibility that this person might be too hurt to stay with friends, at least initially.
 
 
3.       Avoid breaking up for the wrong reasons
 
 
4.       Make the necessary arrangement
 
 
 

 PART TWO:  Breaking the News

1.       Choose the right time.
 






 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.       Prepare your partner for the conversation
 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3.       Use “I” statements.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4.       Be honest, but not unnecessarily harsh.
 
 
 
      




5. Suggest staying friends.
 





 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PART THREE: Moving on After the Break Up

1.      Avoid talking to your ex, at least initially.
 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.      Do not feel guilty for feeling bad.
 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3.      Take some time for yourself.


 
 

 
 
4.      Rely on friends and family
