Break ups are never fun to talk about, it's a devastating time period for some people.

However, they do happen. We do find at times that we are probably not made for each other. At that time it's better to call off the relationship as soon as possible before either of you get even more involved with it. It hurts anyway and sometimes it's better to seek some advice on it too.

So here's an advice.... I hope no one gets to a break up and your relationships are healthy and loving, but if it ever gets to that point, you've got help.

Break Up Advice

We all agree it is compassionate to avoid hurting people's feelings whenever possible. The "whenever possible" clause creates some confusion when ending a relationship, however. This is an inherently painful time for one or both parties. Many tactics have been used, when breaking up with someone, to attempt sidestepping this inevitable truth. They all fail. Worse yet, avoidance of the plain, honest truth causes more misery then is necessary in these situations. Therefore, avoid being evasive or vague. Be direct while taking responsibility for what you want.

There are no strict rules about how to end a relationship. However, a few tips can help when breaking up with someone.

Don't be evasive, unclear or vague. Be direct and to the point. This is not an enjoyable matter for either of you. Giving false hope or making your partner guess at what you want prolongs everyone's misery.
Do not break up in stages. You may think this will make the loss easier. Don't fall for it. This only serves to administer low, medium and high doses of pain over a longer interval.
Don't lie or invent a story. Things will not add up and the falsehood will be found out sooner or later - usually sooner. Getting over a break up is hard enough without introducing mistrust. Making someone piece together bits of information while leaving him/her to guess what is true causes unnecessary pain.
Don't blame someone or something else for your choices. Identifying and asking for what you want is an important developmental step and is necessary for mature relationships. Also, hiding behind excuses is pretty transparent. It is likely the other person will see what you are doing. Conversely, if he/she actually believes your excuse, the person will try and problem solve how to remove whatever relationship obstacle you've fabricated.
Don't delay ending a relationship. Once you know you want to break up with someone, it does not help if you deny what you feel. Your partner will sense a change, perhaps reaching out for reassurance. This may feel like "neediness" to you which will increase your feelings of being stuck.

aww thats nice advice

i think that a break up is bound to happen if a relationship does'nt work..and that happens often..but you can always end it on a good note..and being frndz is a great idea post the awkwardness..n it wont stay for a lot of time..

I HATEEE breakups. I never know what to say... Confused Before I broke up with my ex I went to all the breakup sites to get advice. I dreaded the whole day. I was even nicer to him extra on that days because I knew I wanted to break up.WRONG IDEA!! Because when he asked what's up, why I was so sweet that day it killed my heart. Cry

It left such a impression on me I no longer want to get into a relationship

Breaking up is hard. If you're going to break up with someone, don't be all sweet/supportive to them before you do it, this will only make them think what went wrong? What suddenly made you want to break up with them?

Also, it's important like said above that you don't delay ending a relationship once you know want to.

well thanks there..

but i am having my dose of break up pain and nothing seems to ease the pain.. i guess time will heal and well i know time will heal

but the funny part is that when these advices and words need to be applied in practical life.. it just doesnt happen..

nice topic though
