Psychologist Toni Rebic explains the best ways to make a difficult situation a little easier.
I find it wild how people treat each other at the end of this rainbow like you never mattered or you never met out of respects for the time you spent together. The first this is don’t break up over text, which just shows your inability to face and deal with difficult situations, so you want to take the high road.
Talk to the person face to face and in private be gentle and kind, you know there heart may be blowing into a million pieces right in front of you so let them down easy. Also be clear don’t stretch it out if it’s really over for you don’t leave doors open to maybes because otherwise your giving them hope and causing this person to still hang on.
