- Breaking up with someone can be painful, but there are certain ways to make the situation more bearable.
- Be honest and clear about why you are breaking up - however, it is important to avoid impersonal clichés.
- After the break-up it is wise to unfollow your ex on social media and avoid contact, as it will only make the process of moving-on more difficult.
Like the song says, breaking up is hard to do … at least for the person who is getting dumped.
I would know. I have initiated breakups, and I've also been broken up with a few times. If my experience on both sides of heartbreak has taught me anything, it's that you can make a painful situation a little more bearable - both on the other person and on yourself - simply by going about it the right way.
You likely still care for or even love this person, despite the fact that you don't see a romantic future for the two of you. Spare your future ex a whole lot of hurt by taking these tips to heart.
