Right or wrong way to end a relationship?

[Rodddy]

Is there a right or wrong way to end a serious relationship? Especially interested in what women have to tell us guys about this.

First thing is first - just remember they are not your enemy because of what ever reason. You don’t need to hate someone to need to separate. But don’t give bull crap aloof reasons either. If your not sure say your not sure.

The right way is to be open and honest and try and communicate. No matter the outcome. I guess maybe it’s a cut n dry short conversation about what was wrong, boundaries that were crossed and why you feel like xyz , then say what you want. It offers explanation without blame, it tells the other person how you feel about the situation and it also offers no misunderstanding about your intention. You don’t need to stick a boot in and be nasty about anything just reset boundaries and leave them in peace. Blocking them means that you are trying to protect yourself from retaliation or other feelings - just leave them where they are. (If it becomes a harassment type of thing alert authorities and then follow their advice) be cordial if that makes sense.

Like taking off a band-aid. Quick and fast.

Thanks. That sounds right to me.

Quickly when you know that you are going to end it, and kindly. Don't lie and say things like "It's not you, it's me". You just say "I'm sorry, but this isn't working for me and I have decided to move on. I wish you the best."
