Five Ways to Leave Your Lover

2. Have ‘the talk’

As cliche as this may seem, having the talk is the best option if you are bored with your relationship, and because it’s you, or not necessarily anyone being to blame, this is the best option if you want to cut ties with your lover without any hard feelings sneaking up on the both of you, this is the best way to do it in order to move on in the long run. Of course your lover is going to hurt but they are going to eventually realize that no one here is to blame and that some things just come and go.

3. Ask to see other people.

This applies to the second option as well. If you’re bored with your relationship, but don’t necessarily feel the need to cut off ties immediately because you’re not sure if it’s something you want, then date around and allow him the same rights. If in the end you realize you’ve had fun, then no one compares, then maybe you might find that you wanted to be with your lover after all, and if it doesn’t turn out that way, then I’m sure both of you who have had the time to warm up to others may find it easier to let things go and start fresh with someone new because it’s likely you’ve gotten some closure.

4. Make it meaningful.

This is the best option if you are breaking up over circumstances such as distance,sickness, or terms where it’s almost impossible to make this relationship work. The reason this works is the exact reason why people would think it wouldn’t. Believe it or not, when someone is dumped, they hurt for the reason that they feel as if their relationship was one-sided, as if they were the only one in love and as if they were living a lie, so it makes it harder for them to move on as they continue to beat themselves up. If you take your lover out for one last date, letting them know ahead of time that this is their last, maybe the place where you first met, showing something that reminds them that you really did appreciate them and the time you spent together. It may hurt, but it’s going to allow them to realize that it’s not because you didn’t care about them, but because sometimes love just isn’t enough when it comes to reality. They will appreciate it later.

5.Consider having an open relationship.

This may be similar to seeing other people, but it’s actually far from it. If you two allow eachother to see other people as you focus on your own independent lives while getting the satisfaction from where you want it, whether it be emotional or physical, you are fixing and mending your own lives. If jealous does stir, you must remember the lover will be mending. If you decide later, by taking this option, that you do not wish to be with them, this time passing will cause the emotions to die down and make it easier to cut ties and leave for good, and both of you will be in good condition.

That sums up the basics of good options that would be a good idea to consider if wanting to leave your lover, especially if both of you are sensitive. It will always hurt, regardless of the option, this you must remember. But these are to do it in a way that does not a show a sign of disrespect or the act of being inconsiderate to their feelings.
