Phrases You Shouldn't Say During a Breakup: They Can Make an Already Bad Situation Worse
31.10.2024 09:31
Once the decision to break up has been made, all that remains is to find the right words to tell your partner about it.
Try to avoid clichés like "It's not you" and some other expressions - they can only make the situation worse.
Are you sure everything will be okay?
At first glance, it seems that this phrase is caused by concern, but in fact it can lead to misunderstanding. It may seem to your partner that you think that without you, he will shave his head tomorrow and cover his entire body with tattoos. There is no need to remind him that now there will be no such beautiful you next to him.
You will find someone better!
Again, this expression reminds you that you are now in the status of "single". Either provide your ex-lover with a list of worthy candidates, or remain silent: mentioning the abundance of fish in the sea will not improve the situation.
I hope we remain friends...
This phrase, spoken immediately after a breakup, can be translated as: "I'll look for someone else, and I'll keep you in reserve." If you really want to maintain a friendly relationship with your ex, talk about it a little later.
Good luck!
This seemingly harmless wish once again emphasizes that now your partner is nobody and he can’t cope without your support. Try to put yourself in his place and understand how offensive it is.
Sorry for upsetting you
If your ex is really upset, try to squeeze out a tear, even if you are rock hard inside. Otherwise, it will look really weird.
