In this episode, Steph and I sit down to go through break up protocol! Like we mentioned in today's episode, we're not experts, just speaking from experience and hoping to help. If you're in a relationship that feels unsafe, please talk to an adult you trust! “A breakup is an opportunity to learn, too. It's not easy. But it's a chance to do your best to respect another person's feelings. Ending a relationship — as hard as it is — builds our skills when it comes to being honest and kind during difficult conversations.” -
The 8 steps we outlined to break up with your SO...
1. Tell your SO you have something important to talk about with them
2. Start by saying something you appreciate about the other person
3. Explain the primary reason why you believe that you should break up
4. Say, very clearly, that you want to break up.
5. Apologize for hurting them
6. Say something positive while not being invalidating
7. Listen to what they have to say
8. Give the other person space
