Ending a relationship, for whatever reason, can be a difficult time. This article contains simple things that you can do to make it a smoother time for you and your ex partner.
1.Avoid Breaking Up Over The Phone, Text or Email
If you are the person ending the relationship and you are concerned for the other person, give them the admiration they earn and do not use the phone, email or text to end the relationship. Have the bravery to arrange to meet up with them and face them in person.
2. Keep it personal.
While you were dating, you were given the chance to learn more information about the other person's personal life, their family, their job situation, their finances and I'm sure much more. When the relationship is over, do not feel it gives you the chance to tell everyone all you know about the private life of your ex partner. If you want to continue a good friendship with them in the future, this will only show you are immature and trying to hurt them.
3. Do not send erroneous signals.
If the relationship is over, do not keep sending erroneous signals. By this I mean, don't keep emailing them repeatedly, texting them everyday, calling over to their house whenever you feel like it. This is making the other party aware that in your eyes it is not really over and you would be willing to start dating again. If this is not the message you want to send, be very clear in your words and also your actions following the break up.
4. Do not isolate yourself.
You have to involve your friends and family. Talk to them about how you are feeling, particularly if you begin to feel depressed or it is affecting your work or study life.
5. Do not bounce back with your ex partner's close friend!
If you want to keep up a healthy friendship with your ex partner in the future, do not start dating their close friend straight after you have broken up. It is just not the right thing!
6. Let good be your focal point.
Even though the relationship has ended, there were good times that both of you enjoyed. If you only focus on the bad times, you can become bitter and angry at either yourself or the other person. Don't hold onto anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and will prevent you from moving on.
