Teach Me How To Adult The Quickie: How To Breakup Without Being An Asshole
Breakups are generally unavoidable in life, but that doesn’t mean we’re any good at them. The stressful conversation, the guilt, the division of friendships, navigating all the emotions and aftermath… it’s not a fun time. So this week, we’re taking inspiration from our girl TSwift, the breakup queen herself, and diving deep on how to call things off, in the kindest way possible.
The key to a healthy breakup (or a conscious uncoupling, a la Gwenyth) is honesty and accountability. No two relationships or breakups are the same, but the modern era of dating has seen a rise in general assholery when it comes to ghosting and ending relationships. So whether you’re trying to end a casual situationship, a long term relationship, or something in between, tune in for tips on how to lead with compassion and break up with grace.
Join us as we chat about:
- The era of ghosting and dating douchebaggery
- What to consider before broaching the conversation
- How to be honest, without being cruel
- Constructive criticism and “I” statements
- Getting real with yourself about the actual reason for the breakup, and the role you played
- Avoiding a prolonged breakup
