Breaking Up Etiquette
In case you need some pointers
Women have always found me a cuddly, big brother type (as opposed to the I want to rip your clothes off and have sex with you all night type) confiding their breakup stories, both on the giving and receiving end. The advice I am passing on is from their and my own experiences.
The Don’ts
Don’t text the person. It is a cowardly way out.
Don’t call the person and leave a message. About the same as texting.
Don’t unfriend them on Facebook and change your relationship status to available before telling them you want out.
Don’t send them a video from your phone showing you getting cozy with your new ‘friend’ and saying; “hey babe when I get back home we need to talk. Hope all is going well for you, take care.”
Don’t ask a mutual friend to break the news.
Don’t gradually ignore the other person hoping they will get the hint.
Don’t go back and forth over breaking up or not. It is not fair to give false hope the relationship might be saved.
Don’t just stop having any contact with the person. It’s hurtful, confusing, cruel and says the person really did not mean anything to you.
