So you want rid of your other half and you just can’t bear it any longer?
The thought of hanging on until the new year leaves you feeling physically sick?
If you want to break up with someone, do it before Christmas – here’s why
You simply have to get it done and out of the way.
Perhaps it will help to know that you’re not alone.
More people break up at Christmas than at any other time of the year, except Valentine’s Day.
Despite there being an awful lot of people saying they couldn’t dump someone over the holidays, it seems there are an equal number who have no such issues.
Here are five ways to dump your partner over Christmas if you’re struggling to work out how to do it.
Theme your Christmas dinner
If you want to go nuclear on the biggest day of the year, theme your Christmas dinner as an episode of EastEnders.
Dumping someone as the turkey is carved is almost obligatory
Do it when discussing presents, not after getting them
It might seem like a nice idea to get a shiny present first but, in reality, if you dump someone after they’ve just bought you an iPad, you’re going to look like a bit of a prick.
When the subject of what you’re going to get each other comes up say something like ‘how about nothing because we won’t be together?’ and see what happens.
Alternatively, ask for ‘total honesty’
Let’s face it, if you don’t know how to end your relationship with your partner, then there’s a serious problem with honesty in the relationship.
If there wasn’t, you’d be able to raise your unhappiness with them and talk it through to a logical, rational conclusion that works for both of you.
Knit a Christmas jumper with ‘you’re dumped’ written on it
Harsh? Perhaps, but you’re reading a listicle about how to dump your partner over Christmas when there’s only ever one way to dump anyone which leads us to…
Grow a pair and just do it
Whether you need ovaries or testicles, just grow them, end the relationship by telling your partner that you no longer feel it is the right thing for you.
Elaborate if they ask for more information, and act like an adult who is able to express themselves with, you know, actual words.
