The Most Difficult Thing: Polite Ways to END a relationship | Tips to Reject a Proposal
People often say that before making a big decision, you should go with your gut. This is even more true when it comes to choosing a life partner. But it’s not easy to end a relationship or reject a proposal and explain why you don’t see a future with the other person.
There’s always a chance that the other side won’t see things the same way and will hold a grudge forever.
When the person who wants to be your partner can’t wait to hear “Yes” from you but you have other plans, the right thing to do is to move slowly.
If your partner is sensitive, you might want to be diplomatic instead of telling them the whole truth. Most of the time, having a heart-to-heart talk with your partner will work. However, if the other person shows signs of being an obsessive lover or a stalker, you may need to get creative to deal with them.
Here are all those polite ways to end the relationship, without hurting the feelings of your partner:-
I don’t have what it takes to be a Good Partner
You can tell them, “I don’t see a good future for you with me.” Since I cared so much about you, I don’t want you to be with someone who isn’t as smart, kind, or skilled as you. Maybe we like each other now, but in two or three years, you might feel like you were tricked, and you might even wish you had never been born. I don’t want you to see those days because I love you so much. So now is the right time to end this.
You’ll be Lucky If I Said No
It’s better to take most of the blame on yourself, since you’re the one who turned down the person, and they’re going to feel hurt. Even though there’s no easy way to say “no,” it can be made easier by being funny for a change. For example, you might say, “I know this is hard right now, but you don’t know how lucky you are.” Years from now, you’ll be glad that I said no.
I’ll marry you, but our Relationship will be Open
If the person is very insistent and all your logical attempts to convince him or her of your decision have failed, you might be able to stop them by telling them you don’t really plan to stay loyal in the relationship.
Start Showing Tantrums
Simply start showing tantrums. Try to be as crazy as you can. This will surely lead to a situation where your partner will break up with you instead of you saying “No.”
Find them Someone Else
Just hook up the other person, which could be any of your friends, and the moment your partner gets to know about it you no longer will have to say “no”. The relationship will end automatically.
Do Something Your Partner Really Dislikes
Just make a crazy request, like having a pet (if you know your partner won’t agree) or moving to a place your partner hates, etc. These crazy requests might shoo away your partner.
