1.
Resolve to walk away.
- If you know that your relationship will not lead to marriage, why you are still in it? A good cut-off point is 6 months because not much will be likely to change beyond that point.
2.
Do it nicely.
- Break up with class, and do it personally.
Leaving a voicemail, avoiding him, and not breaking up are hurtful, especially if it was a serious relationship.
3.
Recognize problems for what they are.
- Don't linger on when you know that there are issues that cannot be resolved with time.
You have to accept them as part of reality.
4.
Nine signs you should break up - There are many tell-tale signs that a relationship won't work, such as few or no shared values, he doesn't appreciate your beauty, or that arguments are highly frequent.
In addition, he is unwilling to commit, you argue more than you talk, you feel nervous and insecure about the relationship, you feel jealous when you are not together, you can't resolve disagreements, you don't trust him and you don't love him.
5.
Accept rejection graciously.
- It is essential that you keep composure and polite attitudes when being rejected.
It may hurt, but it's not worth leaving the situation full of scenes and outbursts.
6.
Don't convince yourself that time has been wasted.
- Just because your relationship did not end in marriage does not mean that it was all in vain.
Time spent with a special someone is always well-spent, not to mention that you will learn more about yourself and how you can improve in your future relationships.
7.
Forgive and forget.
- If you have resentful feelings over how terrible he was or possibly how terrible you were, forgive him and yourself.
Forget and get on with life.
There you have it.
You may be sad, but you still have to move on with your life and future relationships.
But how? Part 2 from the Matchmaker will let you know how.
