Ending An Affair
…The Hardest 5 Words
“I don’t love you anymore.” Those are probably the hardest five words you’ll ever say to anybody. Yes, ending an affair is never easy. It’s no wonder that people are searching for advice on this problem everyday. Well, if you’re reading this, you’re probably one of those people who can’t seem to find the right way to end an affair, for whatever reason. Well, this article is going to give you some advice that I hope will help.
Let’s face it, it’s not easy having to let somebody go, for both parties. Endings, good or bad, are hard. Even the worst marriages have a hard time letting go. It’s even tougher when one person isn’t satisfied with the relationship while the other is as happy as a clam. This is when things get messy. How do you say goodbye? Honestly, there is no easy way. And if you’re looking for some magic words that are going to have your partner say, “Oh I understand dear…no problem” then you are living in a dream world.
So here is my advice to you. For starters, if you’re thinking of ending it, don’t put it off. The longer you make things drag on, the worse it’s going to get. It’s not going to be any less painful if you wait a week, a month or whatever. If anything, you’re doing your partner a disservice by keeping them hanging on for so long. So make it quick. You’ll actually be doing them a favor.
Another thing you need to do is be direct. Don’t beat around the bush. A simple “This isn’t working” is the best approach. And then, explain why. Let the other person know why the affair isn’t working out. If you can give some clear, plain facts, it won’t make it any less painful, but it will be a lot easier to accept. A simple, “I just want to end it” isn’t going to go over well. But a well thought out explanation will go a long way. People actually appreciate directness. They don’t like to be strung along for the duration.
