Say Goodbye Without the Drama: How to End a relationship With Minimal Stress
Are you just done? Is it not him it’s you? There are a few tricks to ending a relationship the easy way. You don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Ideally both parties would know when a relationship had run its course, but for one reason or another, the person on the other end of a relationship may just not get it that it’s over. It might even be a friendship or a business partnership that needs to end. Maybe you have to fire someone. The rules are the same.
Go public.
Especially for romantic relationships, you want to end things on neutral ground. People are less likely to cause a scene in public.
Set it up.
It’s okay to say something like, this is going to be a difficult conversation.
Accentuate the positive.
Tell the person a few things you really like about them. Describe what initially attracted you.
Stick to the facts.
If the truth is you’re just not feeling it, say so. Remind the other person they deserve a better relationship than you’re both currently in.
Be kind to yourself too.
If someone is going to feel rejected, so be it. It’s not your job to make other people happy. Your responsibility is to yourself. As long as you approach the situation with a kind heart, you don’t need to feel guilty.
To combat emotional outbursts, remain calm yourself. Honesty is generally the best policy for ending a relationship gracefully.
