Some of the Worst Ways to Break Up

One of the worst ways to end a relationship is to communicate that they want to break up but, leave the impression that there is still a glimmer of hope that they might return. This can happen if the one ending the relationship doesn’t have the courage to be firm. Another time this happens is if they don’t want the other person to get involved in another relationship. They hold onto the other person as an insurance policy in case they change their mind. Also along this line is when the person breaks up and dates others, but continues to call and say endearing things. False hope after the break up leaves the other person in limbo.

We tend to link holidays with emotional events in our lives. When a person chooses to end a relationship over a holiday, it can be even more heartbreaking. It can be especially traumatic if the significant other had reason to expect a marriage proposal to commemorate the holiday.

Most people would be advised to be honest with the partner during a break up, but there are some things that can be left unsaid. If the person causing the break up feels they must list all the other’s negative and distasteful traits, it can be devastating. It is rare that only one person is to blame for a break up.

It has been said that the most inhumane thing you can do to another person is to ignore them. When a significant other just quits calling or returning calls hoping the other will get the hint, it could be considered inhumane. Most people who choose these cruel ways to break up would be upset if someone treated them like this.
