Can you describe the different ways you used to break up with someone?

Question

Can you also mention why you used that particular method for that particular relationship?

Answer 1

hehehe..

at one time, I just made the vanishing act. I thought it was effective then, since I do not show up everytime we use to see each other.
at another time, I just said the words. this is effective if the man could not read "actions' and will only understand until you tell him pointblank.
the last time, I answered back. He jokingly said I was an idiot, so I said, "yeah, I'm an idiot, that's why I fell in love with you." He was surprised with that comment. Then I didn't answer calls anymore. It was actually good timing. I wanted out, but I don't know how. So those words actually gave me a reason to get out.

Answer 2

Breaking up with someone.. Hmm, always difficult to do, no matter which method you use.

Since they say there's no better experience than your own, I'll try taking it chronologically:

- don't answer the door, the phone, the e-mail, messenger, and if he's pushy, lock yourself indoors for a few days with a Sex and the City series;

- did you find out he cheated on you? Meet up in a (very) public place, order a BIG cup of coffee, not for yourself, but to throw it in his face (if you have the guts, it will be soo satisfying);

- tell him you met someone else;

- it's not working anymore;

- we can still be friends;

- you're more like a brother to me.

It also depends on the type of personality he or she has. If they're an aggressive type, i wouldn't suggest throwing coffee in their face. If they're the low-self-esteem type, you shouldn't tell him he's awful, you don't like him, and want to move on with your life, because that would hurt his self esteem even more.

Answer 3

Honesty always works. I mean being honest with you. Do not hurt the other person. Try to remember what part you played in the beginning. What were your motives. What is the true reason for the break up. Everyone plays a part. I would focus on Me and not the other person. No reason to judge them. We must take full responsibility.

Answer 4

I always told the truth but in a way that didn't add insult to injury; my relationship was based on honesty. I knew it was going to be painful no matter what I said and how I said it. I told my ex that I was very unhappy and that if he really loved me, he had to let me go. With tears in his eyes, he helped me load up my car with my personal possessions. It's been two years and he has remarried since. We remain good friends to this day.

Answer 5

I dated this girl who was a real nut case she called all the time was very clingy wanted sex all the time, I thought maybe she just needed some one to love, so I asked her, she told me that " she wanted to have a child but was not ready for marriage" I thought this was a little strange and told her I would never want to have a child out of wedlock then she changed her tune" But I told her that I did not want to get married...I thought we should stop seeing eachother..two weeks later she was with anouther guy the ended up getting married had a child and got devorcied all within a 18 month span of time. i was glad it was not me.

Answer 6

Best way is face to face. talk to that person and let them know that the relationship have ended face to face. allow them to see the level of hurt that is behind the reason why (you)broke up with them.
reason i used it I felt that maybe if I used the face to face it would give me some closure in knowing how he really elt because i could sometimes look at him and know if he was being honest or lying and also i want to know if he was hurt as well as myself when i ended it

Answer 7

ignoring is the best method and indifference
