When you want your partner to dump you as you don't have the nerve to do it...
Sometimes through anxiety about hurting a partner's feelings - or low self-esteem and feeling you shouldn't break up with someone - people will orchestrate reasons to make their partner dump them.
Sounds extraordinary but it happens and in today's Sun newspaper I've commented on the story (at the end of the story) of a woman who gained an enormous amount of weight so that her partner would breakup with her.
Today's Tip: it's far better for your self-esteem and confidence to learn how to face these difficult times in relationships.
Think through how you can tactfully give them the news that you don't want to be together anymore. Then choose a time when you have enough time to explain yourself.
Yes, you might face tears or anger or all sorts of different emotions but ultimately each of us needs to learn how to bring something to an end and hopefully the best possible way.
Take care of yourself, Pam X
