subject: End-up Your Relationship In A Civilized Manner [print this page] Not all relationships are meant to be, or have a happy ending. Sometimes, in a couple, there are too many fights, a lot of stressful situations, so the couple decides to get separated. It's not easy, it is difficult but necessary. Both of you need a fresh start. How can you do this if you still want to keep in touch with your ex? You do not want a total break-up, so you should end up the relationship in a pleasant manner. Here are some tips to help you do that:
1. No reproaches
Think well before saying something nasty; don't make reproaches because this is useless and, as a couple, both people share the blame. The disappointment might be big, it's true, but don't say it, if you want a nice ending of the relationship.
2. Sincerity is important
Do not try to find an answer for the decision you made. Just tell your partner it does not work anymore and breaking-up is good for both of you. Why should you stay together if you disagree all the time? A new fresh start is what you need. Face it, the magic is gone.
3. No more turning back
Don't think that after you ended-up the relationship it is better to revive it again, from time to time. It is either "yes, we are together" or "no, we are not a couple anymore". However, communication should not be stopped. Sincerity combined with kindness make a broken relationship end up in a nice way.
