Not all relationships go smoothly and cloudlessly. Doubt can destroy an ideal world, and sometimes you can only understand yourself and your feelings away from your partner. But it is necessary to report a break in a relationship delicately so that resentment and misunderstanding do not appear.
Don't abandon your partner during a difficult life period. If his dog died or was fired from his job, it is necessary to support, and not offer to part for a while. Better wait until the guy's life is back to normal, and then move on to your proposal. The conversation should take place in person, without strangers, so that you can calmly explain the situation and answer all questions.
No need to drive him into depression with the phrases "I doubt our relationship" or "I think that you are not the one who I need." Just say that you need to understand yourself and that you want to be alone. If you can't think of a good reason, tell them you're going on a business trip. But then you will have to hide from him and mutual friends so that he does not take offense at the deception.
Try to make the conversation light so that you don't feel like a real breakup. No tears, no apologies, or a somber expression. But there should be confidence and determination in your voice. Make it clear that you have made a decision, this is important to you, and you just want to notify him about it.
It is best to indicate the timeout time. If you do not say at least the approximate timing of your separation, he may decide that this is forever. Otherwise, you can return to him when he already has another girlfriend. Therefore, immediately make it clear that this is only a temporary measure for a short time.
During a break in a relationship
When the break in the relationship comes, you don't need to go into a detachment and start a new romance. You took this time in order to understand yourself and determine your feelings. Resist the urge to call or text your partner because you need to completely distance yourself from him. Evaluate your state of separation: are you experiencing or enjoying being alone? Are you bored? Want to finish the experiment quickly?
Pay attention to your partner's behavior. If during the break he watches you, calls you, tries to influence your decision, it means that he really values you and worries. But, on the other hand, if instead of cute messages you receive jealous and unpleasant messages, seriously think about whether this person is worthy to be with you.
Tell your partner about your decision
When you finally understand your thoughts and make a decision, do not drag out the conversation with your partner. If you decide to be together, invite to a meeting and say that you cannot live without him. If not, also offer to meet, and then honestly admit that it is better for you to break up. Do not drag out this conversation so that the person does not indulge in vain hopes.
