How do you break up with someone?

I know this sounds weird coming from a 20 year old, but I always seem to do it wrong… how do you make a clean break? I’m so angry with him, but I don’t want it to end on a bad note… so how do I go about doing it? :’(

Answer #1

You tell them you want to speak with them about something important. Let them down gently, say you have just lost that feeling and you make better mates. Say sorry and hope they take it well. Make sure you are both alone aswell.

Answer #2

It doesn’t sound weird at all, just let him know trust has been an issue and you dont feel it will get much better so ending it early on will make it less painfull on the both of you.

Answer #3

well I dumped my long term boyfriend by text, buts that’s because I am cruel

Answer #4

You can always try to make it gentle by saying that you guys need a time apart from each other to clear your mind, and he’ll get the message, if not tell him that you need to get to know him better.

Answer #6

Well, you better wait till you’re not mad anymore…it’d be tough to leave on a good note when you’re really angry. Then just say enough…”this isn’t working for ME”….that keeps the ball in YOUR court, and leaves nothing for them to do or change to make it better. Allow them time to get over it…as they say, breaking up is hard to do…he will be hurt, but will recover.

Answer #7

Apperently =/

Answer #8

Just say hit the road Jack, or get to steping

Answer #9

hit the road jack or get to steping you &^*$#!@@$%#4

Answer #10

As a guy I’d say be up front. That can’t be easy I know, but it’s preferable to beating about the bush & playing avoidance games. I had a girl do that to me once & apart from stressing me out badly, it made me lose respect for her. If you’re up front it may be uncomfortable at first, but in the long run you will be rewarded.

Answer #11

and spineless lol jk…

Answer #12

Well, there’s really no easy way to break up with someone. The best you can offer really is a clean break, tell him what you feel, and walk away. Don’t leave things floating around, and stay away from him afterwards. Even a check up sometimes sends signals of hope…

Explain your feelings, and then walk away. I’ve found through experience that it’s the best way to let them go..

Answer #13

ridicule their sexual performance then make out with their pets. :P xx

Answer #14

There is no real right or wrong way to break up with someone…one always gets hurt more it’s unavoidable…but the way you do it makes all the difference in the world.

If it’s a trust issue then make it obvious but also know that it will end ugly…with trust issues it always does…one argues about how can you say you dont trust me while the other tries to remind them of certain scenario’s it never ends & the fight lasts til one says whatever…i am out!

If it’s just a case of outgrowing one another, then it’s best to do the whole i know this is going to be hard speech, but I really want to stay friends with you. Obviously the other is going to argue & say how on earth can we be friends after we have been through so much together & now you are leaving me…but…if you really want to maintain a friendship for real keep in touch & reassure them about finding the right person for them when the time comes! Dont just say it…actually mean it…keep the convo’s on a mutual ground and if the other person says something to bring up what was, explain to them that things can be for the best this way allowing you both to grow & experience other opportunities. If you show you truly do care as a friend & want them to really be happy there is no reason in the world that you both cant maintain that friendship minus the animosity towards one another!

Those are some of your options…hope it has helped clarify a bit… good luck no matter what you decide to do.

Answer #15

I like Temptress’s answer, but be wary how thick you lay on the, “You will find someone for you,” or, “You will be so much happier once I am out of your mind,”…that just tends to make things worse at the time because they thought that person was YOU.

He will be hurt, but, like others have said, he will get better with time :)

Answer #16

just break up with him

Answer #17

I guess it all depends on what the situation really is about and if it is even worth maintaining that friendship after…I too had to do that to someone that really cared a lot bout me but the feelings were just not there & rather then string him along I just said hey why waste your time trying to be my bf rather then just staying my friend…I dont like to play games…and I think he understood that & with time he saw i was right & is happy now with someone else! Win win situation & my conscience is clean & clear…I guess it is different for others…♥

Answer #18

Yeah it is :) I know I could just never be friends with a guy I had been intimate with because somewhere deep down everytime I saw him those old feelings would kind of rise up again. I don’t think I’d be able to really move on with my life unless I completely walk away. </3

Answer #19

I suppose I understand what you mean…why you felt you had to go your separate ways. I tried to keep in touch with a few of my previous relationships, it doesn’t always work out. oh well!

Answer #20

i recently broke up with my BF and i just let him know what was bothering me n said if he couldnt fix it then we’d have to finnish, Good Luck x

Answer #21

juss tell them u dnt luv dem anymore

Answer #22

keep it short and simple. call them and say lets see other people sorry and say ttyl and hang up:D

Answer #23

Always be honest and to the point. Never lay blame or give them a reason to think that there’s still something there by telling them that you love them. Just say that it’s no longer working out for you and that you’re ready to move on. Give them plenty of time to respond by just listening to them. Give them a big hug and wish them well. Let go and break off all communication.
