Couples who decided to end their relationship talk to each other as a sign of respect to one another. However, some tend to leave without explanation because they wanted to avoid drama. But then, setting things straight before ending a relationship is very important since it gives you the closure that could benefit both of you.
Ending a relationship can sometimes lead to emotional torture. Usually, the one who ended the relationship sleeps better at night, though that's not always the case. According to the South China Morning Post, we all need to be considerate of the other person's feelings - especially when it's time to leave in a relationship. If you are the "dumper," then you should take some time to think first and do it right. As for the other one, respect the decision of your soon-to-be-ex-partner if they wanted to quit.
There are many ways to end a relationship, but walking away without any explanation is the worst thing to do. Each of us handles the situation differently, but the fundamentals remain the same - even if the love is gone, you need to end things with maturity, grace, and respect. If you want to break up with someone, then end it, rather than continuing your relationship for months because you don't know how to end it. It's not right to stay in a relationship, especially if the love is gone. You must confront your feelings, and it's better to do it sooner rather than later.
Being honest about how you feel is important as well, choose the right words and actions. Be firm and strong in the way you speak and act, but don't also forget to carefully choose the right words to avoid causing unnecessary pain and anxiety. When you said it's already done, then you should distance yourself to your ex-partner to prevent giving mixed signals. Try to avoid their calls or communicating via social media. While you want to remain as friends, it's not yet the right time to build a new friendship.
Focus on yourself first since there's no right or wrong way to feel or respond when a relationship ends. Everyone reacts differently depending on the background, personality, as well as the past relationship. Ending a relationship can be worse or better -- it's your choice how you want to end it. Still, decent endings bring decent and fresh beginnings.
