How to break up with a person

First of all, calm down. Try to take a sober and unbiased look at the situation. You may later regret the sudden decision. And maybe it’s not as bad as you imagine. If the pros outweigh the cons and the decision is made, try talking to your partner. Throughout all conversations, do not forget about the tact and feelings of the other person. However, be persistent if you have firmly decided to break up.

Explain your intention clearly and understandably. Explain and justify the reasons with specific examples, not abstract phrases. In no case do not go over to insults and reproaches. Do not fall for provocations, if any. Your confidence will soon be transferred to your partner. Remember that for some time after the breakup, you will be remembered solely for your behavior during this period.

Show concern for your ex. Do not agree to conditions that do not suit you, offer a compromise that suits both of you, so that the losses in all aspects are minimal and as equal as possible. Give yourself and him time, maybe when the first shock passes, you can again continue communication as close friends. However, do not rush this moment, otherwise you may break loose and it will be more difficult to get back into shape. Try to get distracted, do business, hobbies, remember old friends. Avoid talking too much about the breakup, don’t blame or gossip about your ex. At first, try not to visit those places where you can accidentally meet him (her).
