Is There A Smart Way To Ending A Relationship by 8:00 AM - And Go To Work Too?

9:15 AM - Office meeting 1:30 PM - Sales presentation 6:00 PM - Break up with my significant other Let's face it, for most of us, that kind of schedule looks pretty funny. While we may not schedule a break up that way, there are times when something needs to be done, and somebody needs to make the first move. A lot of relationships last much longer than they probably should for no other reason than breaking up isn't an easy thing to do. Relationships typically end in a few basic ways. There is the dramatic break up . This type can be very sudden and usually involves strong words or actions.

The following emotional stages of a relationship breakup are only guidelines to help you navigate through a difficult time to a happier ending. What's important to understand is that even though they are uncomfortable, each of the following feelings are quite normal. What follows are often referred to as the "five emotional stages of grief". Each of the concepts apply just as easily to a relationship breakup . The major difference is that some of the stages can happen while the relationship is still in tact. The first stage is denial. There are plenty of stories about spouses and significant others who justified the odd behavior of an ex before a breakup . "Oh, he probably got lipstick on his collar when he accidentally bumped into someone." "She didn't call to tell me she was going to be late because she was too busy with work." Those are two rather blatant examples that may not apply, but how about this one? "We don't argue th...
