5 Nice Ways To Break Up With Someone So You Don’t Break Their Heart
I know — ending a relationship is one of the hardest things to do and good for you for trying to find some nice ways to break up with someone so that you don’t break their heart.
You care for this person but you know there is no future for you as a couple and you don’t want to hurt them when you let them go.
Fortunately, there are kind ways to break up with someone without breaking their heart, at least not completely.
#1 — Don’t disappear.
The WORST way to break up with someone is to ghost them, to disappear without a word. I know that it seems relatively painless, that if you just don’t contact them anymore they will get the picture and move on. Unfortunately, ghosting someone makes it easier on you but it’s definitely not a nice way to break up with someone and not break their heart.
Most of us need to have some idea what has happened in a relationship before we can move on. This is especially true if the break up comes from out of the blue. If our person suddenly disappears, we are left wondering what happened, what we did wrong, how someone could treat us this way and how to move forward.
And this is heartbreaking.
