KNOW, it is okay to break up during the holidays but you
must do it in the right way: with respect for your future ex.
This will enable you to start 2022 fresh in mind and body!
Clean out your romantic closet this month too and join in on
the holiday hustle-bustle with us. I’ve never seen a holiday
season blow up like this in all of my 30 years of experience.
In fact, the most commonly asked question I get in
December is: “How do you break up properly and is it
possible to end a relationship during the holidays?” The
answer is: It is okay but there is a right way and a wrong
way to break up. So here’s more December facts that
you can use all year round. Do share this information
because not all people know this or practice the below.
I.E. Tell your friends.
1. Use your manners. If you have been dating less than
six weeks, it is okay to break up over the phone, but NOT
in text. Do not simply ghost the person either. It’s not nice.
2. If you are in an exclusive relationship, don’t double-
dip and find a replacement before you break up. That is a
coward’s way out. Man up and tell the truth. Don’t be a
liar. You are going to get caught anyway and surely you
will cheat again. Period.
3. If you have been in a long-term relationship, prepare
what you are going to say first. Meet IN PERSON. Allow the
other person to ask questions and give them some closure.
It’s only human. Be kind. This will help them move on in
the long run.
4. Don’t be a jerk. Don’t bash your ex around town. Don’t
turn it into a war and be a drama KING or QUEEN. It’s
not worth it and will stir the pot. Also, you will be bashing
someone else next because that’s how you roll and people
will catch on to this aspect of your personality. I.E. Maybe
the problem is actually YOU?
5. Plan out how you will handle the future. Will you still
be friends? Can you just be friends? You may need a break
altogether before you can be friends again. You may need
to move to another state. Who knows and who cares. Just
have a plan for yourself and your former partner so you both
know what to expect moving forward, especially if you run
in the same circles or share friends in common on social
media. Try not to use mutual parties to gather information.
All of this is easier if you are honest and up front.
Most of all, do something for you and your love life this
month. You deserve it! All of the good ones are not taken.
Just look in the mirror. The BIGGEST investment you will
ever make is in the partner you choose.
We are here for you. Have a beautiful and blessed holiday
season. Give us a shout or leave a message. Someone will
get back to you. We are committed to this process more
than ever before and we have actually gotten even better at
matchmaking in the last two years (just when we thought
we were perfect)! We can’t wait to hear how you are doing
too. Final Fact: It’s never too late to give yourself a gift.
