Spring Cleaning Your Man

By . Posted on .

Spring Cleaning Your Man

The
‘Dead-End’ Break-up 
-> This is the break-up
that comes out of a relationship that is lacking potential for a future. Most
often the relationship is navigating a smooth course, void of any major rifts.
However, for one of the participants, the desire to mature the relationship and
elevate it to the next level, is absent. Symptoms of this type of break-up
include sudden trivial irritations (such as the way the person laughs) and
decreasing your loved on as a priority in your life.

The
wrong way
: The classic “It’s not you, it’s
me” approach is the most typical route to take, but is not completely true and
the recipient of such a message knows it. He’s left in bewilderment and could
have a difficult time moving past without some sense of closure. THIS APPROACH SPELLS:
WHITE-LIAR

The
right way
: Explain that you no longer share
the same feelings and that you don’t see a co-mingled future together. When
asked about specific reasons for the change in feelings, be sensititve but
straightforward. Express gratitude for the relationship. THIS APPROACH SPELLS:
THOROUGH.

Hey, so
there may be a lot of lonely-heart tears and hugs, drunken rebounded makeout
sessions and chocolate binges for the first few weeks post breakup, but rest
assure your heart will be shining as brightly as the sun soon, healed and wiser
then ever and you will be moving on to some serious summer lovin!

Live and
love largely,

Tristan
