Sometimes we may feel that there are too
many things happening in our relationship that
make us unhappy or uncomfortable.
Sometimes we may decide that we are not
ready to be in a relationship. Or we may enjoy
our relationship, but feel that circumstances
make the relationship too difficult. Whatever
the reason, breaking up with someone can be a
hard thing to do.
If you are thinking about ending a
relationship, here are some things to keep in
mind that may make it a little easier:
Ending Abusive Relationships
Sometimes we may need to leave a relationship
for our own safety. If you are being abused
and are planning to end your relationship,
remember that it is best to have a safety plan .

Ending a Relationship
Think about what you're going to say in
advance. Many people find it helps to
rehearse what they want to say before saying
something that's difficult.
■
Choose an appropriate place. Talk to the
person somewhere that is comfortable for
both of you. If you are worried about safety,
somewhere public could be the best choice.
■
Say it in person. If you feel safe, talk to the
person face to face. An e-mail, phone call, or
text message is usually not the best option.
It's also important to do it yourself. It can
create more problems if you have someone
else carry the message for you.
■
Be respectful. Don't intentionally hurt
someone with insults or name-calling. This
will only make the conversation harder. Be
direct. The person may question why you are
ending the relationship. Being honest may
help the person have better relationships in
the future.
■
Don't say "we can still be friends" unless
you really mean it. Sometimes people
promise a friendship to ease the hurt of a
breakup. This can cause more hurt and
confusion down the line if you don't intend to
actually stay friends.
■
Give the person some space. Even if you
are going to be friends, give her or him some
time to adjust. It may be good to take a break
from seeing each other, talking on the phone,
etc. for a while, so you can both adjust.
■
If you feel you made the right decision,
stick with it. Don't allow the person to
change your mind. It is normal for someone
to cry or get upset during a breakup. Feeling
bad or guilty is not a reason to stay in the
relationship.

Remember to always stay civil,relaxed and focused.
signing out! peace!!!
