HOW TO BREAK UP A DISSATISFYING RELATIONSHIP

Breaking up with someone has never been an easy thing for anyone (even for heartless people). It takes a lot of courage to end a relationship and some people would rather stay in a relationship out of pity rather than love because they can’t summon up the courage to back out of a relationship that could definitely be heading straight for the rocks.

Here are some tips to help you break up with someone

1) BE ABSOLUTELY SURE ABOUT YOUR DECISION
Breaking up with someone you still love or care about is a very hard decision to make, so you have to be absolutely certain that you want the relationship to really come to an end. In order to make a decision, you can draw up a list of the reasons why you need to break up with your partner, then thoroughly go through the list you made and think of all the things you have done in order to correct the troubles you have had with your partner which all ended in zero results.
For example, you can’t continue a relationship with a substance abuser (even though you love them to death!).
2) FOR GOODNESS SAKE, DON’T DO IT OVER THE PHONE!
Never break up with a person over the phone, e-mail, text messages or use a “Dear John” letter. It is not only unfair to do this, it is COWARDLY!!!
If you must break up with someone, do it in person and don’t take the easy route.
You owe your partner an explanation (don’t ask me, it’s the rules!), be fair to him or her, so that they can at least be able to cope with the break up – it can be pretty hard to get over a relationship without having closure.
3) BE PREPARED
When you decide to break up with someone, always be ready. Anticipate every question( that he or she is going to ask you and be ready to answer them. Always remember that it might come as a shock to your partner and he or she might react in a certain way (depending on his or her personality), he or she might beg, cry or even become violent. Whatever you do, remain calm and try not to let it end in a fight.
4) BE CLEAR THAT THE RELATIONSHIP IS OVER
Be clear to your partner that the relationship is over, the sooner that your partner knows that there is no hope of reconciliation the sooner he or she will start the healing process and move on with his or her life.
5) HELP YOUR EX HEAL
After you have broken up with your partner, help him or her heal by avoiding them in order to give them enough time to get over you. Try not to call or send e-mails to them. It might sound like you don’t care but if you keep calling or sending mails to them, they will never heal.

There is absolutely no point in staying in a dissatisfying relationship, it is better to be single and happy than being in a relationship and miserable.
