2011 Tips for Men on How to Break Up a Relationship
Breaking up is hard to do. This is not only true in a song; this is a reality some men face at some point in their lives. At a certain point a man will find himself in a dead – end relationship. He is no longer happy with the woman he is with but the lady in question is still committed to hold on and keep it going.
The cowardly way out is to get her to break up with him. He will constantly pick a fight with her, spend less and less time with her and in moments that they are together will be critical of everything about her, giving her an excuse to instigate the break up. This is a drawn out and painful process that will end up in a very ugly and heartbreaking break up for both parties.
A reason given by such a man is that they care for the girl, even if he is no longer in love with her and he does not want to hurt her by ending the relationship. What you don’t realize is the longer you stay in this kind of relationship the harder it will be for both of you. And you are doing her more harm than good. Instead of making a clean break, letting her go so that she will have the opportunity to find a man who will truly love her, you are keeping her in a blind alley of a relationship that will eventually destroy her.
The manly thing to do is be honest with her. In a calm and rational way talk to her and tell her how you really fee. There is no better way to do it but with complete honesty and candor. Of course she will be hurt; it cannot be avoided particularly because she is still in love with you. Whatever reason you will give her for breaking it up with her will hurt her. But in time, when she gets over the hurt and the anger, she will realize that what you did was the best thing that could be done. Don’t worry, the hurt and anger will pass as all else passes.
