Or maybe it is, I&#8217;m not here to judge you. But I think what we can all agree on is that breaking up over text is not as easy. Not saying that face-to-face is any better, but sending a breakup text is just a jerk move you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are situations where you <em>need<\/em> to breakup over text, like if it&#8217;s a long distance relationship, or if it&#8217;s an online relationship (yes, those exist). In these situations, it&#8217;s inevitable. You&#8217;re not going to fly or drive for hours just to breakup with that person. So if you do have a choice to breakup face-to-face, then you do that. Breaking up over text when you can walk 10 minutes to their place is not cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you can&#8217;t do it face-to-face, then we&#8217;re here to help you breakup through text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Break Up With Someone Over Text<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine if you&#8217;re on the receiving end. You&#8217;re enjoying your day, everything seems fine, when suddenly you get a\u2014 <strong>&#8220;Hey, we need to talk.&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014it ruins your entire day. Despite not knowing what it could be, when it&#8217;s a &#8220;we need to talk&#8221;, it&#8217;s definitely something serious. If you&#8217;ve expressed your concerns about your relationship before and things don&#8217;t seem to be progressing in a good way then maybe they&#8217;d know what it&#8217;s about, but if this is your first time expressing something that truly bothers you, maybe don&#8217;t jump the gun and immediately breakup?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Break it to them slowly.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately breaking up through text is something that happens often enough, and often taken advantage of that it&#8217;s frowned upon. There are valid situations where you absolutely need to breakup over text, so if you really do have to breakup through text, here&#8217;s a nice way to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CYBwWOBsUWS\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Which brings me to my second point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try calling or FaceTiming instead<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you and your partner often call or FaceTime, then it&#8217;d be a good idea to lay on the news while you&#8217;re at it. Or setup a time with them to talk about something serious. Usually this is easier for both you and your partner, because you don&#8217;t spend time typing a paragraph that could possibly be deleted because you&#8217;re anxious, and your partner can see that you&#8217;re genuine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you don&#8217;t want to do is rush them into answering immediately &#8211; it takes time to process new information, especially one that they possibly didn&#8217;t see coming. Don&#8217;t end the call unless you see that they might need time for themselves, and tell them what you appreciate of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you DON&#8217;T want to do&#8230;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s some of the Don&#8217;ts when it comes to breaking up over text;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=105412447500927132\" height=\"571\" width=\"345\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=AamX1OFVVfW9Tc7hb43MyLXx9yLVvA2OVkdknYrNRDrP5-7t6r00IGM\" height=\"349\" width=\"345\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=1131810950077777539\" height=\"380\" width=\"345\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=83809243053957437\" height=\"279\" width=\"345\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=585256914059117891\" height=\"345\" width=\"345\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to say (or how to say it)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s better to say it directly than avoid it forever and explode one day. Once you&#8217;ve found a good time to talk, try to be respectful, kind, and clear in saying it. Don&#8217;t go around to too much, but don&#8217;t be too blunt. Be considerate of your words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tell them you&#8217;re sorry if it hurts them.<\/li><li>Tell them why it&#8217;s not working out.<\/li><li>Say something positive.<\/li><li>Listen to what they have to say.<\/li><li>Give them time.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Point #3 might not make a lot of sense to you, but relationships are a two way street. You can&#8217;t keep pointing at the other person&#8217;s flaws without recognizing some of your own. Besides, you once cared for this person, it can&#8217;t be ALL terrible, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn from it<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I said, relationships are a two way street &#8211; it takes two to make it work. You once loved this person so much that you couldn&#8217;t get enough of them, and maybe you do still have feelings. But sometimes it doesn&#8217;t work, and that&#8217;s okay. Whether you turn out still friends or better off as strangers depends on you and your partner. Maybe things are too complicated to turn it to a friendship, maybe they&#8217;re too heartbroken. Either way, be respectful towards each other. After all, it used to be love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More like this;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.downapp.com\/dating\/hookup-in-hawaii-usa-hookup-guide\/\">Hookup in Hawaii \u2013 Best USA Hookup Guide 2022<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.downapp.com\/dating\/cute-pickup-lines\/\">59 Cute Pickup Lines For Her \u2013 Online Dating Tips<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.downapp.com\/dating\/good-hookup-stories-of-ons\/\">Good Hookup Stories \u2014 Stories of Unbelievable One Night Stands<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whoever said a breakup online is easy doesn&#8217;t know the struggles of it.
