People say that love finds you when you least expect it. But what they don't tell you is how to get rid of it. Relationships are wonderful when you are with the right person, but they can be equally miserable when you are not. Unfortunately their is no secret to finding out whether the person you are with is right for you-only time will tell.
When a relationship turns south beyond all repair it's time to break up. Breaking up stinks because you know the other person will be hurt, but the relationship cannot continue on as it is. Below are five ways, from worst to best, how to dump your partner, and to end the pain forever. I wonder which technique fits you?
Text Message: Breaking up is hard to do. Breaking up is even harder to do when you have no backbone and hate confrontation. Unless you recognize that you are a cruel, cruel person try not to end a relationship by sending a text. Their phone beeps informing them of a newly received text. Their eyes begin to water as they words on the screen begin to slowly and painfully rip the heart from their chest. And where are you while this is happening? Safe and sound in your room.
Email: Using email to do your bidding is a slight step up from texting, because email is a bit more formal. "Yes, I've got an email from my man!" no, you've been dumped. If you see nothing wrong with this scenario, and you do not believe in "what goes around, comes around," then you may use this technique.
Note On The Front Door: Today is the day that you are going to end your relationship. You psych yourself up as you prepare to go to their house. As you prepare to leave you think "Wait, what if they are not home?" After all, they are never home at this specific time-how convenient. Like marking a person for death, you write a note and leave it on their front door, then run just in case they come home early. If you are a wimp with pretty penmanship then you may use this technique.
Phone: You've been a huge loser most of your life, but you're trying to be a better person. You contemplate delivering the bad news personally, but the many previous years of being a loser takes control of your weak mind. You pick up the phone and dial the number. "Why," "What did I do," "How could you?" cry through the phone as you ignore the sobs and hang up the phone-realizing you are a bad person with little to offer your community.
Face-to-Face: You two have had some good times, but those days are long gone. You've tried to mend the hurts and pains but nothing seems to work-it's time to breakup. You are no super hero but their is some strength in you or you would have not ordered from that "roach coach" the other day. You call ahead and let them know you are coming over. The news has been delivered, sobs shared and hearts broken as you leave without looking back. Congratulations, you are one of the few decent persons left in this world.
If you have the courage and strength of a super hero or just an ounce, than this is the best way to breakup. I know and understand that this is also the most difficult way to breakup, but it says a lot about your dignity. It says that even though you don't have the same feelings, you still respect the other person.
