Good Breakups

DrewTheMysterious

Has anyone ever had like an amazingly good and mutual breakup? Sometimes people tell me this but I just can't believe it. Has anyone ever been able to be just friends really easily?

Well a good way to break up for me, is to reassure them that they arent the worst person in the world, dont make them think that they are a bad gf/bf, make sure you want to be there friend, tell them there is someone out there for them...Just stuff like that works for me, and in the end I allways ask for a long hug...

Does that really work though? It all sounds so cheesy.

I thought i had a wonderful break up once. She broke up with me, and i didn't really care so we were just friends. I found out later that it was one sided and she still liked me and regretted breaking up with me We are really good friends now though so it all worked out for the best.

If the relationship is serious though, and you've been together for a long time then there really isn't any way of making things better for your partner. I can imagine this cheesy stuff working for little juvenile relationships (you know the ones you have in high school that last no longer than a month and don't really mean anything) because the feelings there aren't really that strong.
Unless both partners feel the same way and you have a mutual agreement to end it, then you can't have a good break up. The least you can do though is tell them face to face, give them a bit of time to talk to you about it and explain why you want to seperate. Unless of course you find them cheating on you or something, in situations like that they don't deserve that type of respect.

The best break up, I think, is to just talk to the person face to face without anyone else around to see or hear you. It's best in a more private area. Also if neither of the two feel hurt or upset, it always goes over well. And lastly, and most importantly, if you are able to keep a strong freindship, everything is fine after the breakup. Otherwise, you will never be able to talk to that person again, until you get over an extremely akward period of time.

I have had a good mutual break up with some one, now we're good friends.

I totally agree with this. Almost all of my breakups have been done this way. Although if you are the one initiating the break up, keep in mind that your "soon to be ex" will probably be hurt and/or pissed. Eventually though, they will get over it and more than likely will repsect the fact that you did it that way. I have managed to remain really good friends with all but one of my exes.

18 years of age and I have yet to have a "good" breakup.

There's still plenty of time.

I only talk to one of my previous girlfriends.

I've had a few mutually good break ups. Well, as good as they could be, I'm sure someone's feelings were hurt just a little bit, but we still remained friends and in contact. I would say thats a "good" break up as any.
