Hi All, Its hard for me to end a realtion. it may be for any relation.. I show its very easy but the no, never, its not that easy.. going in a depression, mood swing, finally crying - crying-. I dont have habit of sharing my sadness. it stays deep inside my heart. i feel i cant make anyone happy. feels nagativity in my life. Want to end my life - running away from myself! help how you came out of this situation. was it easy or hard to come out of any relation for you?

who says that it's easy?.. ending a relationship isn't that easy. what ever you do, and what ever you say, you will actually hurt someones feelings.

yeah, I agree with you.. it's better to end a relationship even though it's very hard, at least by ending it, you wouldn't let your relationship get worsen..

I understand what you feel and it really hurts.But you have to accept the fact that your relationship is not working anymore.You need to move on and be happy.Come one,its not yet the end of the world.Be strong and face it.The right person will come to you at the right time because we all deserve to have.Time will heal the wounds, you just need to be strong to move on with your life.

It is never easy to end a relationship. If it was easy it wouldn't have been worth it. But I believe that after a good cry and when you come back to your senses all should be well. I firmly believe that it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

I haven;t ended a relationship yet and I have no plans of ending it. Well according to what my friends have experience the hardest part of breaking up is actually accepting the fact that it won't work out for the both of you anymore. Usually they would say to that its better to hurt themselves now than hurting each other in the long run. My advice for you is of course it all begins with acceptance. You must accept the fact now that your life must continue even without that person. After accepting this you will see that you can actually be happy and positive again. Also I suggest that you go talk to your friends and family before of thinking any drastic action such as ending your life. Stay positive and live happy.

it has never been hard for me to end a relationship, i think that we go through life we meet ppl fall inlove and then fall out of love relationship works and some dont and maybe that's why i have never had depression or anything after i ended a relationship one relationship ends nother one is just about to start

The easiest way to end a relationship is to embark on the conspiracy of silence-keep quiet and that body language will send the appropraite signal to the other side that it is over!

It is never easy to end a relationship especially if that relationship has been going on for quite sometimes. No matter what you do, you will always feel sadness when you end a relationship. Just give yourself time to adjust to the situation. Things will eventually get better after you grieve.

first, it is really hard. especially when you had a long relationship.. it's really hard to adjust.. i remember when my boyfriend for 1 year and me separated, i was like torn into pieces.. i always remember everything that we do. and places that we go to.. but moving on is easy if you have your frends and family to support you.. they really help you come back to the real world and make you realize that he's not worth crying for.. so now, when i have to go through that situation, i always keep in mind that it's his lost not mine..

To end a relationship is hard to me. I can hardly forget that person, and I think it's need a very long time for me to end a relationship with others. I don't like to end any relation, once it started. If I started it, that must worth to start, so how can I easy to end it. Maybe I can hardly forget one person or some memories. I may recall that person and the memoris when I was with he/she many times.

hey ynigz, i totally agree with you.. we cant forget anything which is related to anyone who is was so close to us.. and thats why its difficult for us to end any relation.. the smile, the laugh, small small fights.. waiting for them, trying to impress them with new new things.. O so beautiful love is. enjoy life :)

When I was younger it was easier. As I got older it got harder, probably because I knew more about myself and I didn't really get into relationships that weren't going to work, at least for awhile. the craziest reason I ever ended a relationship was because I couldn't stand the sound of her voice. No kidding. She was nice, cute, we got along well, but her voice just ate at me. It was super nasally and high and even worse when she laughed. I new one day I would just lose it so I had to call it quits. Maybe that sounds shallow but we were pretty young and if something like that was going to just eat at me then there was no way it could have worked so it wouldn't have been fair to her either.

it is hard, especially if you have been with this person most of your life. but if you cantbe together then you have to deal with it and move on. that is asier said then done, there was one time when me and boyfriend broke up for six months. the first month or two i was in a slump and i didnt want to do anything except sit at home and cry but then i realized i have a life to live especially if he is not concerned about me. so i just kept myself busy so that way i wouldnt have time to think about him. i went to work and school and when i wasnt at either i just planned things for me to do. even it ment just walking around walmart or going to see a little movie. and then when it was night time i focused on gettig ready fo the next moment. i never left any room to think about him. and then after a couple of months of me being ok we actually started back trying to work it out. not saying that you are going to get back together with him, but atleast you will learn how to be ok without him or her.

Depending on how serious the relationship is then would depend on the difficulty of ending it. It´s never good to stay in a relationship that you feel is bringing you down instead of moving you up.. the point is to be happy and enjoy a relationship and if you feel that the relationship with that person is just not doing it then you shouldn´t continue on with it because the other person may end up getting hurt when it could have been avoided- Well i write from experience because it happened to me and i was very hurt because after 5 years and a half he told me he didn´t want to be together after ignoring me for 2 months. The best thing to do is be honest with them and know that when you least expect it the right person will cross your path and you will find happiness.

It is hard always specially thinking about the moments shared.But, this is life, we have to give up if it is what is needed and what is the best for both people.It will be hard at first but doing stuff outside and pampering yourself with what you want to do and play will always help one person to recover and finally move on..DO not think about ending the life, if we have not trials as that, we will never become a better and stronger person...Think on the positive side, you have to let you because you will be meeting a better partner whom you can work with perfectly!

I am sorry, but I do not know very much about ending relationships. I do not rush into relationships and really the only serious one I have is with my husband and that began between 40 and 50 years ago and will last as long as he lasts. Probably I will not be interested in any other relationships. Other friendships will be casual. They can come and go, no sadness, just change like a butterfly in the wind.

Hi yogeshdhusa, I think the hardest part in the relationship is to end it. It is really hard because there is always hurt. and relationship is not just a game that you can end it if you feel that you dont like it anymore because their is a feeling involve here. thanks and have a nice day to you.

hey rosema, i agree with you, ending a realtion is the hardes part of life.. the felling is involve but someone decide to end the realtion only when other feelings are more powerful, like ego or insulting.. not able to understand eachother.. but i think communicating with eachother will help.. and that helped us a lot.. thanks for your support . enjoy :)

hi, yogeshdhus, do not be so sad about life. if i have a deep feeling for someone, i will feel very very sorrow when ending the relationship, if course i will never try to end it by myself. but if you have to face it, then just think that some new one will come to you!
