How to delicately break up with a girl, avoiding pain and resentment

Strategy for a proper breakup

For every person, a breakup is a rather difficult life situation that requires a careful analysis of the causes and consequences.
It often happens that a couple breaks up rashly, in a fit of strong emotional emotions, and then, having cooled down, regrets it. And if they come together again, then the residue from the separation remains in the mind and haunts the future. Therefore, this issue must be approached with all seriousness. The reasons for deciding to end a relationship can be very different: betrayal of one of the partners, cooled feelings, different characters, life positions and interests, long separation and much more. In most cases, it makes no sense to continue a broken relationship, delay the breakup and simply waste precious time. Therefore, if thoughts about the end of the union with your partner do not leave you, you should think about how to properly and beautifully break up with a girl, without offending her. For most people, this is a very sensitive issue that requires a special approach that not everyone can find. Especially in such circumstances, a strong half of humanity is lost. Therefore, let’s turn to professional recommendations from psychologists on how to leave a girl so as not to offend her.

A few words about errors

There is an opinion that you need to act rudely, sharply, and coldly. Let the girl be in pain, but the suffering will subside faster. But such behavior spoils the guy’s reputation, and his partner develops contempt and disgust for him.

Another mistake is getting personal and quarreling over old grievances. You shouldn’t argue, prove, or shift responsibility onto your ex-girlfriend. You should wish the person happiness and let him go.

The desire to quickly end the meeting will offend a woman, as will rudeness. You can't start a conversation in a hurry. You need to turn off your phone. You shouldn't accompany your ex-partner home; it's better to pay her for a taxi. This is a gallant gesture that will emphasize a respectful attitude towards the girl.

A beautiful breakup is impossible without a sincere conversation alone with your ex. A touching breakup will allow both partners to maintain their self-respect and move on.

How to break up with a girl when living together

If you are not just dating, but also living together for a long time, then the problem is complicated by various aspects. You have a common life, established preferences and interests, common habits and plans for the future. And it will be quite difficult to cut all this at the root. You need to think about where to move after the breakup. If your beloved lived on your territory, then make sure in advance that she had somewhere to go. Either she will return to her parents' house, or she can rent temporary housing. If you rented an apartment together, then pay for the next couple of months and move out yourself, leaving at least some support for your partner while she grieves. And it wouldn’t hurt to provide her with any feasible male help before leaving, so that the feeling of abandonment and loneliness is experienced with the least amount of force.

To break up with a girl without offense, sit down with her and explain the situation as calmly as possible: that you are different people, that there is no point in dragging on with a relationship that is becoming obsolete. Be polite and tactful. The person who lived side by side and loved you for so long deserves honesty and openness in such a difficult conversation. Prepare yourself for a response in advance. Get ready for the girl to cry, be hysterical, perhaps even break dishes and destroy everything around. Peacefully listen to accusations and persuasion, if any follow. Don't ignore her point of view. In principle, if she has also been thinking about ending the relationship for a long time, there will not be much of a problem.

Don't rush to renew your relationship

It happens that after a breakup, a guy begins to acutely feel the loss of his girlfriend, even if he himself was the initiator of all this. This is a normal condition, but you should not rush to renew the relationship at the first manifestations of it.

Perhaps this is just a fleeting lack of intimacy that you have become so accustomed to during your relationship. Or you just felt uncomfortable being left alone in the apartment. Believe me, it will be unforgivable on your part to call her, informing her that you were wrong, and then, when she appears, again feel rejected and say that you want to break up again.

In order not to take hasty actions, you must understand yourself before telling your girlfriend about the breakup. To do this, try to have a serious conversation with yourself and weigh all the pros and cons of your relationship.

How to break up with a girl who loves you very much?

You have been together for some time, but for various reasons your feelings may have cooled, and you do not see the point in continuing a relationship that is burdensome. At the same time, your companion sincerely treats you with trepidation. You can consider several possible options on how to beautifully leave the girl who loves you:

1. Give her the opportunity to leave you herself. To do this, you will have to show all your worst sides, so that her vanity and pride will leap, and she will understand that you are not worthy of her. But keep in mind that this option will take time. Start annoying your ex-lover with your behavior and actions. For example, be rude in your words, point out her flaws in her appearance or figure. Start constantly criticizing her cooking. Make unflattering comments about her parents. Get drunk to the point of obscenity. In the circle of her friends, make stupid jokes and behave like a disgusting type (swear, pick your nose, scratch your butt, etc.). Stop spending money on her, while still buying something for yourself. Ignore when she tells you something, show inattention to her words, requests and problems. Always find more important things to do than spend time with your partner. Don't answer calls or messages from her. Give compliments to other young ladies in her presence. In general, do everything to push her away from you. So that your companion herself comes to the conclusion that she does not want to continue her relationship with such a terrible, unbearable type.
2. There are times when you can turn to a friend for help and ask him to flirt with your girlfriend. He will have to spend a lot of time with her, show tenderness and care, and give compliments. And at this time you can demonstrate your not the best qualities in order to cause her dissatisfaction with you. When the young lady turns her attention to a new admirer, she will partially be distracted from you. Of course, you shouldn’t hope that she will immediately stop loving you and become inflamed with feelings for another young man, but in any case, she will feel needed by someone else. And, perhaps, she herself will offer to break up.
3. Let's consider the option of how to leave a girl without offending her or denigrating yourself in the eyes of others. You shouldn’t put off the conversation, because most likely your companion has begun to notice changes in your behavior lately, which means she’s constantly thinking about it, getting nervous and worried. Therefore, by postponing an important conversation, you will only further undermine its emotional and volitional sphere. Arrange a meeting with your chosen one in some uncrowded place with which you do not have events and memories of your life together. Tell her sincerely about your feelings and your decision. At the same time, convince her that she is a very good and wonderful girl, worthy of happiness and mutual love with common interests and preferences. But don’t get carried away with compliments, otherwise you’ll convince yourself of the breakup or you’ll want farewell sex, and this should under no circumstances be done. Show your partner respect and don’t blame her for the fact that you stopped loving her, because it’s her own fault. Be prepared that the girl will ask you to give her another chance, promise to change and become perfect, beg you to stay. If she starts to cry, hug her and have pity. But not for long that she didn’t have the feeling that everything could be returned. Listen carefully to your ex-lover’s position and answer all questions honestly. Promise that if she needs anything, you will come to the rescue and help out. The main thing is to make it clear that there can be no return to the previous relationship, so that she does not harbor unrealistic hopes. Do not offer to remain friends, as it will be unbearably painful for her to watch your new relationship as a friend. A lot of time must pass for her feelings to subside and for her to perceive you adequately.
4. If your chosen one begins to blackmail with suicide or revenge, and you know that she really has all the prerequisites for this, then you may have to jointly undergo a course of psychotherapy with professionals in this particular profile. You need to try as much as possible to avoid your partner’s depression, otherwise it will remain on your conscience.

Method number 2. Get rid of a girl without tears and hysterics: find a replacement!

“This, of course, is a little strange, but I myself introduced my ex-girlfriend to her future husband when I wanted to break up with her,” my neighbor Vitya told me.

And it was like this: they dated Ksyusha for a long time, he got to know her inside and out, including her tastes in men. Therefore, when I decided to break up, at a corporate party I specially introduced the girl to my colleague Alexei - tall, slender and absolutely charming - exactly the way Ksyusha saw her chosen one in her erotic dreams. Alexey was warned that Vitya no longer had any designs on the young lady, so he could act at his own discretion.

“When that very notorious spark broke out between them, I could only pretend that I had self-critically withdrawn. Oksana also apologized to me.” - Victor summed up.

What a cunning one, however...

How to break up with a girl you love very much?

There are often situations when a break with someone for whom the heart has not yet cooled down is required. Perhaps she preferred another man, or her feelings have cooled, or you do not see a future together because of her imminent move to another city. Whatever the reasons, the thought cannot leave you: “how to properly break up with the girl I love, and how to forget her.” If it’s really hard from the realization that everything has to end, try not to break off the relationship right away, but take a break from it for a short period of time. During this moment, both try to rethink the situation and come to the most correct conclusion. If you decide that separation cannot be avoided, then take note of these tips on how to leave the girl you love with the least moral loss:

1. Minimize meetings and contacts with your beloved. Try not to pick up the phone so that you are not tempted to call, write or endlessly look through her photos.
2. Immerse yourself completely in various activities or meetings with friends in order to distract yourself as much as possible from sad thoughts about separation from your loved one.
3. Constantly remind yourself of the reason and possible consequences of continuing an unhealthy relationship.
4. When you realize that you are ready to talk, make an appointment and honestly and openly say that the relationship is over and you have no complaints. At the same time, be sure to voice the reasons that prompted you to make this difficult decision.
5. Try to behave politely and calmly, without accusations or hysterics.
6. Thank your partner for the invaluable experience and pleasant moments of your relationship.
7. There is no need to arrange a romantic dinner with memories or farewell sex for this moment, since in the process you can retreat from your decision due to temporarily intensified feelings.
8. After the conversation, confidently turn around and leave. And don't regret the choice you made. It’s better to devote your free time to yourself, self-development, relaxation, hobbies and finding a new good companion.

Try to find the optimal time for this

Another condition that can affect the course of your separation is timing and circumstances. For example, leaving a girl on March 8, February 14, or her birthday would not be the smartest decision.

Besides, if she's having a hard time right now and needs your support, the news of a breakup will also be a pretty cruel surprise.

Try to start this conversation on the most neutral day possible, which can be compared to complete calm on the ocean. Then none of you will be overwhelmed by emotions from the shocks that have already happened.

Get out of your comfort zone3

There was no happy ending. Well, that happens too. And no matter how painful and unpleasant it is, life goes on. What if you take it and radically change it? Yes, yes, right now. After all, only by starting something new will you get a different result. Feel free to cross out old habits, traditions and even phrases from your usual life that in one way or another still remind you of your ex. Dramatic changes will make you shake yourself up and help displace all the accumulated negative emotions. Scary? Well, that’s great, this way you’ll be able to replace the source of suffering with a powerful surge of adrenaline.

What to say2

There is no need for sentimental speeches and flowery phrases. It is important to say that the conversation is very serious and important. The tone should be dry and formal. No notes of sadness, sadness, affectionate turns. An approximate monologue can be structured this way: “...We need to talk. I ask you to listen to me carefully and not to interrupt.

Believe me, this is not a spontaneous decision. It is conscious and accepted by me completely. I have a lot to be grateful to you for, I learned a lot from you, you greatly changed me and my worldview. But the time came when I realized that I was ready to move on. Sorry, but I want to continue my journey without you. I ask you to let me go. Now I understand that we cannot continue our relationship.

They reached a dead end. Moreover, I see that you are catastrophically wasting your time next to me, I am slowing you down. You deserve more, and there is no point in treading water. Your time passes faster than mine, and I am not yet ready to take responsibility for your fate. Don't get me wrong. What I want to do now will give us a chance to achieve a lot separately. I want to say that we are breaking up. Sorry…"

Next, of course, will follow emotions, rhetorical questions “why?” and “for what?” There is only one answer to them: “I am not worthy of you and I cannot allow you to make the mistake of staying with me.”

It is important to convince your friend that she is absolutely not to blame for the breakup, to belittle her own personality and try to prove during the conversation that she will never meet a worse version of the guy again, and therefore it is better to get rid of the ballast right now. She doesn't need such a freak.

If we've been together for a long time
