Ending Your Relationship Is Hard To Do
Written by Casey Wright
Sadly, it is known that when a relationship turns sour, one party must step up and announce the end of the relationship. Relationships that end up in this sour state tend to hold on for longer than they should simply because making the move to break up is hard to do.
Break ups can involve drama such as personal items being thrown around or outside the house. And on the other hand, a relationship can quietly disappear when someone calls it a day. The big question is, how do you end it without hurting your partner?
Have a clear reason in mind when you decide to break up. Give it some real thought and make sure that it's not just the first thing that springs to your mind. Once you are sure on the real reason behind the break up, ensure that you are honest.
Remember to be honest to yourself as well as to your partner. Plan a time that is best for both of you to end the relationship. And if the relationship isnt long distance, it will always be better to break up in person opposed to email or texting. Try not to make your ex start to defend themselves. Mention that you have grown from your time together and that you will have many great memories.
Be as supportive as you can and get ready for your partner to become emotional. When you are going through the process of a break up, remember not to take anything personally. In the heat of the moment, things may be said that are not really meant.
Your partner may need to re-confirm that the relationship has ended. The best thing you can do is to give them what they need to understand that the relationship has ended.
Once the relationship has ended, you may wonder whether this is really the end, or whether you have that option to reconnect. This is something that only you can work out. Many couples have gotten back together after a break up when both parties come to an agreement.
And if you decide that the break up was a mistake, know that with a little effort, it is possible to rebuild your relationship. But if you have made up your mind to end the relationship, be ready to follow through and move on.

Dr. Venus Nicolino: You Have To Make Yourself Available To Find Good Relationships
The idea of making yourself more desirable by making yourself less available doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it. After all, Juliet would have plunged a premature dagger into the heart of her romance with Romeo if she hid in her room rather than go out on her balcony. The end of Sleepless in Seattle shifts from "awww" to "aw, no" if one of the two main characters skips the trip to the Empire State Building. As these examples from fiction show, making yourself
