June 28th, 2009 | by guest |4 Things You Need To Do To Stop A Breakup
Falling in love does come with a downside; painful breakups happen when relationships go bad. Often the first steps to stopping a break up include things NOT to do as well as things you NEED to do. Initially, we’ll explore behaviors you should adopt, then we’ll dive into some of those behaviors you’ll want to avoid.
Steps To Take To Stop A Breakup:
Practice The Three C’s – Calm, Cool & Collected
Often, if they are honest with themselves, people know when a breakup is coming and are able to prepare themselves emotionally for it, but in the rare cases where it is a complete surprise you need to be able to do all that you can to contain yourself from outbursts. Clearly, you don’t want to leave someone with the idea that you can’t control your anger or your emotions. Often it is helpful to keep in mind that this is the first pass, and that reconciliation can occur in the near term.
Give It To Them
You’ll find that many of life’s best things come from helping others. Often, while you’d prefer to stop a breakup, it’s best to go along with it temporarily. You may want to consider how it will happen, unpleasant as that prospect is. Calmly agree with the person that this is the right thing for both of you, and that you yourself have been feeling this may be the course of action that you wanted to pursue. Although you’re feeling let down and sad, it’s true, this is still the best thing to have happen. It will compel the other person to think as to why you wanted the break up. It’s something people are likely to do.

What NOT To Do:
Text Message Terrorism
Sending a text message is no way to conduct a breakup conversation. You know, the messages that continually ask why or confess your undying love. Those messages to the parents, the friends, the roommate, the relatives trying to rally support behind your case to keep that person involved with you. This can be considered harassment and can only lead to a restraining order against you. This will not stop a breakup, but only confirm that they should have gotten out a long time ago. And be clear, their family isn’t trying to fix the relationship, but wondering what they ever saw in you at all.
Drunken Dialing
Just another catchphrase from the relationship shaman T W Jackson, author of the best selling ebook “The Magic of Making Up”. We’re all aware of it and at some point or another have taken part in it. You attempt to get out and get your mind off things and before you know it, you have had one too many drinks and are starting to drool. After having some alcohol, you believe that you are now ready to call your ex-girlfriend and win back her affections. No, no, NO! This will make you look like a complete idiot and cause the other person to subscribe to a phone number that is unlisted.
While the items above have been written with a little humor, they are very real. If you have fallen victim to any of the Things NOT To Do, and missed all The Things to DO, do not fret. There are ways to find aid as well as ways to resolve the issue. You should have a look at the copy of The Magic Of Making Up: Stop The Split
