Beginner’s Guide To Breaking Up With Someone
Are you in a current situation-ship, or a relationship, that for whatever reason, you really need it to end or want it to stop? Because I have been there, a time or two, and with my experiences, I have developed some knowledge on how to successfully break up with someone in a way that is considerate, but also sticks.
Of course, we all know that with loving, there comes a risk of heartbreak, and that’s okay. You can’t beat yourself up for needing to stand up for yourself and set boundaries that are beneficial to you. You don’t always have to care about others more than yourself– sometimes you need to put yourself first.

That is not ok. Of course, this entire article is my opinion so at the end of the day you need to do what you need to do, but in my experiences, there is never going to be a right time, and if you keep waiting, you are going to feel the full effects of that mental strain for a lot longer than you need to– the consequences of waiting could be far worse than getting it over with and starting recovery asap.
