How to Break Up a Relationship Without Hurting Your Partner

Swagata Deshmukh - Jul 22, 2024

Don't be the person who inspires their exes to put breakup (sad or revenge) songs on the loop. Learn how to break up a relationship without hurting your partner!

How To Breakup A Relationship Without Hurting? Well, breaking up a relationship is never a walk in the park, but sometimes it's necessary for both parties involved. It’s not going to be as smooth as the best lubricant gel & oils from MyMuse (😉). So, how do you do it without breaking hearts, causing drama, or leaving emotional debris all over the place? Well, you can’t but that doesn’t mean you can make the hurt less for yourself and your ex-to-be. So, let me guide you through the process with grace.

Communication Is Key

Clear and honest communication in relationships is important, even if it’s about to fall apart. Sit down with your partner and talk openly about your feelings and concerns. Be kind, gentle, and compassionate. Remember, it's not about blaming or accusing; it's about expressing your emotions. Share why this breakup is happening and how there’s no way of going back. But try to share things from your POV only. That’s how to break up a relationship without hurting your partner. 

Choose the Right Time and Place

Breaking up is a big deal, so make sure you pick the right time and place. You don’t want to be Joe Jonas breaking up over a 20-second call and then being blasted on Ellen’s Show. You also don’t want to be Warner Huntington from Legally Blonde doing it during a special date night. Find a quiet, private space where you can have an uninterrupted conversation, and ALWAYS do it in person! Avoid doing it in public or over the phone, as it can make the situation more distressing for both of you. If you want to try getting back together after the breakup, now is the time to talk about it.

Be Empathetic

Put yourself in your partner's shoes for a moment. How would you want to be treated if the roles were reversed? Show empathy, understanding, and respect for their feelings. Remember that this isn't just about your emotions; your partner's feelings matter too. Part of ending a relationship without causing unnecessary pain is providing closure. Answer your partner's questions honestly and kindly. Let them know that this decision was not made lightly, and you're both better off for it.

Maintain Boundaries

After the breakup, it's essential to set boundaries to give each other space to heal. Discuss how you want or not want to maintain the future of your relationship. Will you follow each other on socials, go to your mutual friends’ hangouts, or just ignore each other’s existence? How to break up a relationship without hurting also includes figuring out these things. Focus on manifesting love for yourself! Respect the boundaries you've established and avoid excessive contact, especially in the immediate aftermath.

Lastly, remember to take care of yourself, too. Breakups can be draining, and it's vital to prioritize self-care with the best massage candles. Do things that make you happy, get the Palm handheld personal massager, engage in hobbies, and invest time in self-improvement.
