Not so long ago, you had an ideal relationship, but your feelings gradually cooled down? The more time you spend together after realizing that love is no more, the less likely you are to part ways painlessly.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are not ready to give the faded feelings a second try, inform the man about it as soon as possible. A breakup conversation should not be started at a time when both of you are annoyed or depressed, and also do not sort things out during a break at work or, say, in line at the checkout in a supermarket. In order not to postpone the parting on the back burner, make an appointment for the man on neutral territory, having previously mentioned that you have a serious conversation ahead.
Step 2
Prepare for the meeting in advance. Think about a couple of basic sentences that should express your main point. Do not go into long explanations and do not go from afar. Your message should be clear, straightforward. It must contain the reason for the breakup. As a rule, behind the phrase “We are not suitable for each other” both the male and female half of humanity have a logical question: “Where did you get it from?”
Step 3
If you are determined to end the relationship with your ex-lover, do not drag out the conversation for a long time, otherwise you risk backing down out of pity yourself or start to doubt that you may be making too high demands on the man. Of course, inviting a person to a meeting just to drop a couple of discouraging phrases and leave is also not worth it. Try to keep within a few tens of minutes, but do not sit for more than one hour.
Step 4
Be sure to tell the man that you were good with him. Thank him for the bright and interesting moments that you had the opportunity to spend together. But now is the time to turn this page and start living in parallel with each other. Since this process is inevitable, stop the man's possible attempts to seek repeated meetings with you. Just ask not to call you, otherwise you will be forced to change your number and, if necessary, even your home address.
