Exit Lines


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

At some point in our lives, we are faced with the difficult decision of breaking up with the person that we care about deeply, but no longer love. The question most people ask is how to break up with the person without causing too much pain, or psychological damage.

Most men feel too guilty to break up with their girlfriend, postpone it until a later date, and delay the inevitable. Other men simply drop the bomb coldly, without any notice. A man should exit gracefully by planning the break up, to minimize the grief caused to his partner.

 

It also helps to be nice about the breakup, because you never know who your ex will be talking to (her friends, your boss, potential girlfriends).

 

 

 

As the dumper , breaking up is never easy, especially when you are consumed with guilt. You start to regret making all those promises about riding off with her into the sunset. Breaking up with your girlfriend is a time of disillusionment, primarily because you never planned to break up with her in the first place.

 

Some men feel guilty about hurting the other person, and torture themselves by staying in the same sticky situation. This is unfair to the man as well as the woman. Remember that if the happiness in the relationship just isn't there for you, then it's probably not there for her either - she just hasn't realized it yet.

 

Maybe she is too comfortable to make a decision. Don't feel guilty about breaking up, because you'll only be saving both of you a lot of trouble in the long run

 

 

 

There is no easy way out. The ignore her 'till she goes away approach never works. There is no closure for her, and therapy sessions will soon follow. The I think you're a great girl and I don't deserve you line will seem okay to her at first, but later she will be devastated when she realizes that you lied because you were just being nice.

 

Honesty really is the best policy. Treating the relationship, and the person, with respect and dignity helps soften the blow.

 

Breaking up is hard to do, but there is only one way to break up with someone; in person. If you don't, you are a coward who obviously has neither the integrity, nor the sincerity, to tell her that your relationship is over.

 

Telling her in person is never easy, but you owe it to her to break the news to her personally. This means not on the phone, definitely not over e-mail, but rather, in the flesh. Also, tell her ahead of time that you need to talk. This gives her a clue that something is up, and will allow her to prepare for what is coming.

 

She might get emotional when you tell her the sad truth, so you might want to break up with her in the public eye. This will make it easier for you to get your full message across before she interrupts you by crying.

 

I suggest that you invite her out for lunch at the same place you first met. The symbolic significance of your relationship having come full circle can help in the closure process of getting over the breakup.

 

When telling her the awful truth, come clean, and be sure to keep a serious face. Say the words sincerely, leave no room for doubt, and never back down- especially when she starts to cry and you feel horrible. There is no room for any white washing or delaying. That will only make matters worse, and further prolong your agony.

 

 

As the dumpee , the dreams of riding off with her man into the sunset have suddenly been shattered, and her plans for the future have suffered a severe blow. Suddenly, life does not seem worth living any more. Everyone thinks that his or her own breakup is unique, and must have been the most traumatic one in history.

 

The truth of the matter is, breakups always follow the same pattern, and life does go on. The dumpee will meet new people, have new experiences, and her breakup will be but a distant memory, a signpost in your colorful life.

 

Going through a bad breakup, and surviving it, really gives you a jaded, cynical outlook on life, whether you were the dumper, or thedumpee. It's possible that you'll both feel that the sky is no longer as blue, and that the grass will never be as green, especially right after the breakup. Nothing is ever the way you expected it to turn out. Breaking up is no different.

 

The most difficult part is how to deal with the person that was just dumped. Do you call them up and ask them if they're okay? Do you stay friends? Do you talk to them on the phone?

 

The best thing to do after a breakup is to not do anything. Don't call the dumpee back, because you'll be giving her mixed messages. Give her the time to recuperate from the breakup, (three months to one year). If she calls you back, talk to her nicely, but don't show that you're still interested.

 

The worst thing you could do to another person after breaking up with them, is pretend that you still want to get cozy with them for just one more night. When it's over, keep it that way, and don't leave any room for doubt.

"there's no easy way to break somebody's heart"...

 

unless there was some either heinous reason to just dump her and treat her like sh*t (like if she f*cked you over or something...), then it is best to be HONEST, FIRM and as DIPLOMATIC as possible.

 

it will be difficult. there will be debates, heated discussions on whys and why nots. there will be pathetic pleading and begging.

 

but so long as you're sure...

 

it is best to be HONEST and tell her the truth as early as possible. this saves time for heartbreak recuperation, et al.

 

be FIRM. if you are sure that a break up is what you want, don't lead her on. don't have a one last romp. don't still be sweet. cut off communication if necessary. how will you get over somebody (and allow her to get over you) if you are still in each others' lives? yes, it might sound cruel. but in the long run, this will be much better for both parties.

 

and be DIPLOMATIC. notice that i didn't say gentlemanly. because no matter what, the girl will think you're an a*s anyway. but i assume that there is still some love involved and therefore, this should prompt you to still be nice and not resort to being an outright a*shole.

 

hope i helped.

 

:P

Listen up lads....to avoid prolong heartaches. ....always dump "her" fast. In a relationship there's only one parachute.If you think the plane's going down, make sure you jump out first.

I just noticed with guys... if they wanna break-up with the girl, they prefer to just give her the "cold treatment". Won't visit her anymore, won't call her or even return her calls, etc.. until the girl gets so frustrated and yun girl na ang makipag-break. Nakakainis yun di ba.. kaya when my guy bestfriend was doing the same thing to his would-be ex gf... I was so mad at him and I asked him to just tell his would be ex the truth.. he said, "napaka-ungentleman naman" daw if he'll do that. And most of the guys I've known, puro ganun din.

 

Bat nga ba ganun guys? Di ba mas bastos naman kung ganun? I mean.. for me, I'd prefer that he tell me straight to my face that he doesn't want me anymore then just walk away.. one click sakit na lang kesa naman unti-unti nya pa ko i-torture. :rolleyes:

 

As for me, if I wanna dump him, I'll just tell him straight that we better end the relationship since it's no longer working. Funny thing lang, madalas hihirit pa ng aayusin daw, etc.. eh sa ayaw na nga eh. Hindi kaya obvious yun? :blink: :unsure: Ang hirap pa tuloy mag-explain. :hypocritesmiley:

well, i havent exactly dumped someone...i've always been the dumpee. that sucks but i learn to live with it. however, as of late, on of my exes has been asking if there is a chance we could get back together again. and she did it via text, how crass can you get...but teh snide details of the encounter are:

 

her: musta na? miss mo ba ako? miss na kita. i still love you. sorry sa mga nagawa ko. sa tingin mo may chance pa tayo magkabalikan?

me: as friends, oo. as BF-GF, malabo na. sori po

her: ganun ba?

 

no more text after that. maybe i sorta mini-dumped her then, i dunno. it really didnt feel bad. i didnt feel justified or anything. wala na kasi talaga akong feelings or whatever for her. tsaka annoying yun ganun diba? nakipagbalikan via text. the least she could have done was call me (sorry, mini rant there). i mean i could always have ridden it out, playing the nice BF and getting free sex in return pero that isnt something im proud of doing...

Noong unang panahon...

 

Actually bata pa ako noon, mas immature pa (mas immature na nga, wala naman akong sinabing mature na ako ngayon e).

 

Guilty rin naman ako ng ganoong gawain, actually ginawa ko pa yun sa wife ko noon (gf ko pa lang siya noon).

 

Ang katwiran ko noon, feeling ko e nagpapakagentleman ako na binibigyan ko siya ng opportunity na maunang makipag-break sa akin. Sa sobrang inis ba.

 

Tapos ayaw na ayaw ko ng babaeng umiiyak. Naiiyak din ako e. :P Pangit kasi akong umiyak. Tutuluyan na nga akong hiwalayan nun.

 

Pero noon yun. I found out na it's better to face her tapos banatan mo nang isang malupit na...

 

"Hon, I think it's time that we should talk"
