Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop. - Anonymous

Love has its shades of joys and sorrows. Well, the problem arises when one is unable to handle each others shortcomings in a relationship. Falling in love does not really take time but maintaining a relationship takes a lot of effort. In recent times, relationship break ups have become a major issue of concern. Well, love can make us do the strangest of things and sadly; love can also fade away with time. So what happens when you know a break up is evident? Should you confess the truth and hurt your partner? Men as well as women are equally sensitive about this issue. I have often come across male friends who do not really know how to handle such a delicate issue. Need some help? Here are some tips.

Sensitive Ways of Breaking Up with your Girlfriend

Communicate. This is the best option. If you feel you have truly loved the girl from the bottom of your heart then, you need to be a little sensitive to her feelings. After all, break ups are not easy and it would affect the both of you. But if done in a very sensitive manner, it would at least reduce the impact of the situation.

There are certain points you need to get across when you break up. Tell her that it's absolutely over and there is definitely no way back for you. You must tell her precisely what went wrong and avoid being too judgmental about her nature. After all, when you have made the decision, you need not go and dig into the past and recall all the fights and disagreements.

If you are in a long distance relationship and do not wish to disclose your decision over phone, you can probably write an E-mail that explains exactly how you feel and why the relationship is not working out. It's better you avoid all the details as it will only hurt her further.

An SMS is a rather crude way of going about such relationship issues. However, in case you think your girl may not be able to take it well and you really don't wish to face her at any cost, then an SMS would be the only way to break up. Even then, it might be considered to be very insensitive on your part.

Avoid the blame game situation. That is the last thing that should be done in a break up. You can probably choose a quiet location such as a not-so-frequented restaurant. Giving the news personally is considered to be a respectable way of breaking up.

Talk about the issues that troubled you. If you feel you can resolve the problem with your girlfriend, you can at least attempt for the same. Perhaps, you both may solve the issue and this may not result in any break up!

If you have found true love, remember you just have to make the best of your differences. That's what love is all about. Best of luck!
