How to End a Love Triangle

If caught in a love triangle, it's best to get out as soon as possible, for everyone's sake.

Being entangled in a love triangle is a very complicated and emotional affair. The single most effective way to end such a situation is to make a move. Depending on your role in the scenario, the actions available to you will differ.

Instructions

1. Move on. The quickest and most efficient way to end a love triangle is to leave the situation altogether. Someone in every love triangle is competing for the affection of another person. If that person is you, it's best to just walk away from it all.

2. Confess your feelings. You may be the person in the love triangle who has yet to express her true feelings, thus leaving you stuck in the middle. If so, you need to step up and say what you've been avoiding. You might get what you want, or you might not, but at least you will finally know and can make a move based on the reaction you receive.

3. Cut someone off. Another way to end a love triangle is to cut someone out of the equation. This may end up being the hardest option when it comes to ending this kind of situation, but sometimes the honest truth is necessary so people are not strung along on false hope.

Tips & Warnings

• The options to end a love triangle can be harsh. Try to be as sensitive to each person's feelings as you possibly can. Get counseling if it will help ease the burden.

• Beware of the emotional repercussions of one person being cut off or told what he doesn't want to hear. This can be brutally painful, so be respectful in your communications at all times.

• Communicate at the appropriate time and place to avoid an all-out war.

• Get a professional involved if things get out of control.
