How To End A Relationship - When To End A Relationship

By Leeanne Utiger
For some of you, from one corner of the globe to the other, there comes a time when you need to know how to end a relationship and exactly when to end a relationship If you are one of these people and would like to know when to end a relationship and in fact how to end the relationship, then I suggest that you read this further. I will split this article into two segments. Within the first segment I will go into brief detail on how to end a relationship and then in the second segment of this article I will go into brief detail on when to end a relationship. Bear in mind, ending a relationship is never easy, and there really are no pain free and simple ways to end a relationship, but maybe some of what I have to say about ending a relationship will help alleviate some nervousness about doing just that thing.

How to End a relationship:
So you have decided to do some research on how to end a relationship. To begin with, there is never a recipe to prevent hurt or anger when you end a relationship. So do not think you will find some miraculous way of knowing how to do such a thing. Read what I have to say, and you should learn the appropriate and polite way on how to end a relationship. To begin with, if you are about to end a relationship, you must have liked this person you are ending the relationship with in the first place, or you would never have been in the relationship. So, given this, be polite and use respect. Sometimes circumstances like you both ending up in separate countries prohibit some mannerisms. Or sometimes other circumstances prevent the same mannerisms from being a possibility. But learn how to end a relationship as polite and as civil as possible. When you begin to learn how to end a relationship, you will learn that if you have given this person you are ending the relationship with a lot of your time in the past (as you must have, you were in a relationship together), then take a little extra time out for this person and end the relationship in person. This can seem daunting at times, yet is most certainly the most polite way to end a relationship. If you don't feel you can bear being near them for long, well keep what you have to say short. You are learning how to end the relationship, not devote the rest of your life to the person you are in fact ending the relationship with. Know how to be honest, and to the point when you want to end a relationship. Do not beat about the bush (so to speak), you may find you get twisted in thought and will in fact become trapped in not actually ending the relationship then and there. This is simply putting off what you are learning how to do. If you need support when you end a relationship, that is fine. Just keep your support close by if you so need them, yet far enough away to not interfere. Never ever say to the person you have learned how to end a relationship with: "You are a really great guy/woman but......" . 'but' is a bad word to use when you are ending a relationship. Know how to use your strength and use firm words (yet not a firm manner). We do not want you both to end up in a fight now do we? That sort of thing has to be avoided as much as it can be. Try this: "*insert partners name* this relationship is not working and we have no future together, it is over, I can no longer see you" - then breathe and hold your head firmly high.

When to End a Relationship:
Knowing when to end a relationship can be confusing for some in a relationship. A varying array of factors could be causing this confusement. Maybe the one you want to end the relationship with is good with words, is known for making promises, or you just don't think you have the strength to end the relationship, so you keep putting it off. If you no longer seem to enjoy your time together, then this is a good sign of when to end a relationship. If you can no longer communicate with each other when you are together, then maybe it is time to end the relationship. There are many other signs to pick up on, that can in fact tell you when to end a relationship. I mean face it, when is it ever a good time to end a relationship. So if you see these signs that I will list below, I suggest you give serious consideration to ending the relationship you are in.

Abuse (both physical and verbal)
Lack of or no communication
Lack of or no respect
Dishonesty
Cheating partner
Constant arguing
The want to be anywhere but with your partner
You do not have the same feelings for your partner you once had
You have fallen in love with someone else

Those are just a few signs that could possibly tell you when to end a relationship. It really is an individual choice and one that is only up to you to make when deciding when to end a relationship. However, when you begin to think on ending a relationship, you need to take a step back and look deep within yourself at your true inner feelings for the one you are considering ending a relationship with. Once you take some time out for yourself and be honest with yourself about your feelings, you will then know when to end a relationship or not.
