There are various ways of breaking up with your girlfriend or boyfriend. When you feel as though it isn't going to work you will need to figure out a way to tell him or her. It is something we all hate doing but many times it has to be done. You don't want to continue to waste that person's time and you don't want them to feel bad.
I hate how some guys break up with girls. They will stop calling them and then complain that their girlfriend is calling them wondering why they are not answering her calls. Eventually, she makes it to his house and either doesn't answer the door or he will answer the door but tell her he is busy. He keeps her hanging around wondering what happened and wasting her time without any concern of her emotions. That is simply not fair. What he should do is answer her call and tell her he needs to talk to her that same night once he got home from work. She would be worried that something is wrong and try to figure out what he is going to talk to her about. She would have suspicions already that he may want to break it off. By the time they both meet then without a dinner he needs to tell her right away. Just tell her “I don't think it is going to work out between us.” She will not be happy, but who is if they care about their mate and they don't feel the same way. She will get over it however and you will be able to continue on without having to worry about avoiding her or her calls. It is over.
For the woman breaking up with her boyfriend it is easier. Men tend to take such things a little easier and don't have to worry about their time limit for having children. Therefore, they tend to be freer with their love life. To break it off with a man all you have to do is tell them that it isn't going to work out and that you are sorry that this has happened. A man will acknowledge what you said and may even try to win your love back by sending you flowers, but just hold true to what you feel and you can eventually just be friends.
People in general hate their time being wasted and if a relationship is not going to work then respect needs to be shown by addressing the issue at hand. No one deserves to be left in the dark and be made to feel like an idiot for not realizing the partner doesn't feel the same way. Of course there will be questions but they also deserve answers. Ignoring someone you are in a relationship with is very inconsiderate and stringing them along is even worse. It gives a big hit to the humane ego.
Whatever you do when you break up with someone just show them enough respect by telling them to their face. Many couples break up over the phone or text message and that is horrible. That is very rude and tasteless to the other person in the relationship. There's no thought about what the other person may feel once they get the news. Be understanding that the other person may feel much stronger than you about the relationship and something such as this needs to be handled with love and care. Even though you may not be in love with them anymore you need to care enough about them to be considerate to how they may feel.
