So You Want To Breakup With Your Girlfriend But Don’t Know How

Posted by chrisr on 10 June 2010

There’s nothing more important in life than learning NOT to burn your ‘bridges.’ This is true especially in the world of ‘relationships.’ So when the time comes to say goodbye it is important to breakup with your girlfriend in the best way possible. People ‘go back together’ often in our world, so this fact should be kept in mind when deciding to break it off. There ARE other reasons…other girls may be watching and judging how well you handle this situation. And remember the old saying “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!” Leaving an angry girlfriend behind can be harmful! Reality dictates there is really NO ‘non-hurtful’ way to breakup with a girlfriend…there are ONLY ways to do it a little ‘kinder.’

Consider Putting It On Paper

Many people find it easier to write a letter when they break up with a girlfriend. You can add a touch of ‘goodness’ by including a sweet card and perhaps a flower. Always choose a private place so if there are tears, she won’t be humiliated. Letters offer a way to MAKE SURE your words are right. Writing allows you to re-read the letter and edit anything that doesn’t quite sound right. In a ‘touchy’ situation like breaking up with a girlfriend spoken words don’t come out right sometimes, causing needless pain, as well as potential arguments! There is no need to leave behind ‘an angry memory.’

Truth or Consequences?

Now, what do you say? Consider your words wisely. If you are angry about something and this is the reason for breaking up with your girlfriend it might not be good thing to tell the ABSOLUTE truth. Breaking up, because of disagreements or infidelity or other ‘hot topic issues’, often happens. However putting the ugliness down on paper AFTER you have already discussed it is ‘overkill.’ If you truly want the relationship over it is better to simply say something like “We don’t seem to agree on things anymore.” In the case of breaking up with a girlfriend too much truth can leave too much lasting hurt. Consider saying you two have grown apart, or you have some growing up to do before you want to settle down…anything ‘anger neutral.’

Last but not least, don’t let the relationship linger. If breakup is what you want, do it with no follow-up contact. Don’t fall prey to an ex who may want to ‘keep you on the emotional string.’ Clean breakups are the way to go IF you really mean it.
