How To Break Up With Your Girlfriend
Break The News
Breaking up with your girlfriend over the phone, sms or e-mail is a very crude, rather a disrespectful way to convey that you are no more interested in her. Therefore, be courteous to tell her face-to-face that the relationship doesn’t exist anymore. Choose an appropriate location, say a restaurant or a park, to break the news. Conveying the news in privacy is considered a respectable way of breaking up.
Convey The Message
While conveying your message, remember that you don’t have to beg, plead or ‘ask’ her to walk out of your life. You don’t have to be arrogant either. Say it in a mature way. Keep it simple. Do not go on narrating the history behind your judgment and details of the decision to break up with her. Come to the point and tell her exactly how things went sour. Maintain a significant dose of regret, while telling her the reality in a clear manner.
Handle Her Reaction
Breaking a relationship can bring intense emotions. She may get angry, confused or break down in tears! So, be ready to handle her reaction.
Avoid Blaming
The last thing that should be done when you break up with your girlfriend is to avoid blaming her, especially if she is at fault. Rather, say that things just didn't work out. Taking some of the blame on yourself won't hurt.
Leave Some Space
After letting her know about the decision, it is better to leave gap of a few days. Bring communication - phones, text messages or e-mails - to a halt, for about a week or two. This will help you adjust to the new environment, where both of you are nowhere in each other’s life. After that, you can try to maintain cordial relations.
