How to Respectfully Break Up With Someone: It may not be that we don’t deserve love; that we don’t love someone; that we can’t endure or any other possible criticisms that may abound, it is that some things simply have to end.

How to Respectfully Break Up With SomeoneThings You should do when Breaking Up

Be Sincere: Being honest will help you partner become a better person and cool his heart, knowing your exact view point. Anytime you break up with someone, be honest and direct. Share with your partner you’re reasoning for wanting to call it quits. Explain your feelings in a calm manner that shows empathy. Think of ways to be honest while remaining kind and gentle.

Appreciate Him or Her for the Nice Time you had: You must have spent some good time during the course of your relationship, make your ex know you acknowledge their efforts and input.  Speak on positive memories and emphasize the good times you had together. Don’t talk about regrets and be thankful for the good times you once had.

Be Concise and Direct: This is no time for patronage. Once you’ve decided to break it off, it’s best to get it over with as quickly as possible. Be upfront and don’t drag the conversation out. Don’t focus solely on sparing your partner’s feelings as this can make it worse. Don’t go ahead to make a lengthy verbose speech, hit it on the head. Try to stick to no more than one or two reasons for the break-up.

It Shouldn’t End in a Sour Mood or Heated Exchange: In your attempt at splitting, be sure to do it in a cool manner. Your ex-partner will likely be in pain especially if they aren’t expecting the break-up. Be in control of your emotions and reactions during this time, it is very important. They may try to respond in anger and lash out as a defense mechanism. It’s important to put yourself in their shoes and respect their feelings.

RESPECTFULLY BREAKUP IN HARMONYBe Empathic:  You can break-up with someone with empathy by putting yourself in their shoes. This is likely a tough time for both of you, and you’ll want to look back on it positively. Behave in a manner that you would like to remember. You’ll never want the final moments of your relationship to be about sadness, guilt, anger, and frustration and your ex probably doesn’t either.

Give It The Gravity It Deserves: It’s important to give the event the seriousness it deserves. Especially if it’s been a long relationship, it’s important to make sure you break up with your partner with the respect the relationship deserves. Do well to point out how much the relationship meant to you.

Have good intentions. Let the other person know he or she matters to you. Think about the qualities you want to show toward the other person — like honesty, kindness, sensitivity, respect, and caring.

Do it While in His or Presence: Break up is a walk in the park, but you need to be courageous and bold enough to do it in person. Respect the person you once loved by breaking up with them in person. Many people break-up through text messaging to avoid the awkward face-to-face conversation. Doing this makes you seem uncaring and cold. It also doesn’t give your ex-partner the closure they deserve. If they have questions, they have a right to honest answers.

Respectfully break up with him or herThings You Shouldn’t do When you want to Breakup

Don’t Do It In Public: For what it is worth, preserve and respect the sanity of your ex no matter how cruel he or she was. Especially if you feel your soon-to-be ex will get emotional, don’t break-up with them in public. Doing so puts them on the spot and can embarrass them. Make plans with them to speak in a private but safe place where you can both talk freely. (Ambien)

Don’t Hide your Real Reasons: Don’t mask or try to conceal what your true reasons are. Sugarcoating your break-up won’t save your partner from heartache or pain. It might leave them feeling confused. No matter how ugly it is, the truth will help them move on faster. If they know the break-up is about something beyond their control, they’ll realize there’s nothing they can do to fix it.

Don’t Be Too Hard: While breaking up, you should check your choice of words and tone. Be blurt out harsh language and raise your voice. Be as civil and cordial as much as you can, no matter the hurt.

Don’t rush into a difficult conversation without thinking it through: You may say things you regret.

Don’t disrespect: Speak about your ex (or soon-to-be ex) with respect. Be careful not to gossip or badmouth him or her. Think about how you’d feel. You’d want your ex to say only positive things about you after you’re no longer together. Plus, you never know — your ex could turn into a friend or you might even rekindle a romance someday.

Don’t Apportion Blames: Don’t bring up hurt feelings or blame your partner for the break-up. If they choose to respond negatively, never allow them to drag you into it. Focus on how you can try to maintain a positive relationship going forward.

Don’t be Abusive: As cyclic as life can be, it will be unwise for your to burn your bridges. That doesn’t mean you should become friends with your ex immediately. Remaining civil is your best bet at having a friendship in the future. Take things slow and think twice before removing all signs of your ex from social media.

It was already set for this thing to fall apart, you should give yourself some patting on the back because you have been to successfully achieve a respectful breakup and you two can comfortable part ways without any hard feelings and you can smoothly move on with your life with the prospect of happy days ahead.
