How to End a Romantic Relationship

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Donna Barnes life and relationship coach here in New York City and the author of It's All About You. To end a romantic relationship I think that you really just need to be honest. For whatever reason that it's not working take your responsibility in that and then share that with the other person. I mean if you been romantic with each other and for whatever reason it's not working now, I think you have a right to still be compassionate towards that person. And honesty is always the best. I think if you are feeling that this relationship isn't right for you then the sooner you can let the other person know the better so that they don't start falling in love with you so. The best thing to do is really maybe prepare them before hand, say I've got something that I like to talk to you about or we need to talk which is always kind of alert the person of like oh oh. But you know if you can prepare them hey we are going to have a serious conversation and start with I statements and say I feel that you know that we don't have a future together or whatever it is that you feel but take responsibility for it. And let them know that they are a great person it's just not working out."
