NOTE

How Should You Leave a Relationship?

When considering leaving a relationship, it is important to assess if both partners want different things in life and if the love for each other has changed. Leaving a relationship can be seen as a reorganization of the family rather than the end of it, especially if there are children involved. It is crucial not to vilify and destroy the other person in the process of separating. Leaving should be done for oneself, not for the other person. It is also important to reflect on one's own actions and accountability in the relationship. Honesty is not only about expressing feelings towards the other person but also acknowledging one's shortcomings. Ending a relationship should be a deliberate and intentional process, similar to how it began, as it marks an important psychological transition in one's relational life.
