Breaking up with someone is never easy regardless of your reasons why. But if you feel the relationship has run its course then you’re most likely right. But you don’t want to do the dirty deed, instead, you want to know how to get someone to break up with you instead.
Even though you want to end things, how are you going to do it?
Perhaps you know a girl who dumped a guy over the phone after telling him that he’s more like a brother figure—ouch. But some people are young and clueless about the whole breakup protocol.
# SelfishnessNo one likes to be in a relationship with a selfish person. When they only think of their own needs and desires, then it creates resentment in the other person.
The selfish person rarely thinks about what their partner needs. Instead, they just do what they want, when they want, regardless of the effect it has on their significant other.
# IncompatibilityThere are a lot of ways that people can be incompatible with each other, but one of the most important ways is in their values and outlooks on life.
If they have wildly different political points of view or religions, then they won’t be able to be in a relationship with each other very easily.
# Clinginess or independenceIf one of the people is very independent and likes their space and “me time,” and the other one is chasing them and acting clingy, then this will be a big problem.
The independent one feels smothered, and the clingy one feels rejected. These emotional attachment styles do not go well with one another.
# Toxic behaviors
There are a lot of different toxic behaviors a person or couple could have. Whether it’s physical, emotional, or mental abuse or something like substance abuse, the toxicity in the relationship will just rot the partnership from the inside out. None of that is healthy.
# Emotional and physical distanceIf one or both people are withdrawing emotionally to the point where you feel like strangers, or at best “friends,” then that’s not a good environment for a happy relationship.
And physical distance can be a factor too whether it’s a long-distance relationship or just sitting on the other side of the room instead of cuddling with your partner.
# Personality differencesMaybe one person is an introvert and a homebody. They never want to leave the house and are always on the couch watching TV or playing video games.
And if the other person is an extrovert and wants to go to restaurants, bars, movies, and hang out with friends, then the two people are very incompatible.
# Fighting too muchWhile it’s not reasonable to expect that a couple never has any conflicts, it’s how they work through the disagreements that can make or break a relationship.
If the two of you are doing nothing but fighting and never having any fun together, then that is something that will break you up.
