If you and your partner just recently became exclusive (within the past couple months) and you feel like things are not going in the direction you had hoped for, you might feel like it is time to let the relationship go. When you know what you want and you notice signs early on that show the opposite, you can try and see if those things can be worked on. However, trying to look at the relationship as something it is not is definitely not a good idea. Pushing for it and seeing no change is probably a waste of time. If you are at a point where you feel like there is absolutely nothing that can be done to make this relationship close to ideal for you, letting go is not really a bad thing. If you are ready to break up with your partner, even though the length of the relationship makes it brief, your partner still deserves to be told in the proper manner.

Ok, Ive noticed a lovely amazing beautiful PERFECT, girl. We've been out for a couple of months now, and I wouldn't say its bad or anything, but I've lost the spark we used to feel at the start. I love her so much, we're still in highschool but i really honestly do. It was just, the little things, we talk with less feel. I dont see the same smile she used to give as often (this has all occured through 1 week. I spend everyday with her, lunch, tea, b4 and after school...i dnt know whjats wrong??? She still loves me and idefinatly still love her, but is this a normal phase, i just feel less of it. Even on facebook, it used to be a priority to immediately come on and talk...and shes rejected me asking her to get a skype etc saying we dont need to see each other and can just talk? Thanks for any help...BTW she has quite a few male friends she is particularly close with before I started noticing her, but then now since we're going out, i dnt expect her to completely drop those friends, but i feel im the same level as them suddenly? PLEASE HELP, thanks

Yeah, it just happened to me. She's disappeared. It wasn't exactly a breakup, we broke up earlier (was her initiative). But she wanted so much to stay friends, she told me that she values me and loves me so much as a friend, she wants to continue our communication. Ok, I continued to communicate with her as a friend. Finally she started ignoring me completely. So much for a friend. Ah, yeah, before the breakup she swore how much she loves me, she would never, ever forget me, etc. Why girls lie so much?

If you feel there is no affair being buit up between you and him/her and if you have no desire to sort things out 'cause you're sure this would all end up in mere waste of time, tears and swearing, just go. Just turn around and vanish and let them say whatever wise things they wish about your unfairness and all that bullshit; if a cup is broken, it is trashed, no cowardice. Same with relations.

All my ex BF finished our relationships as “cowardly breakups”. I want to know: WHY? But I do not want to hear "I do not love you". it is better to think hi loves me, but some reasons do not give him to have relationships with me.

Hi! This is truth that cowardly breakups became a common practice now;((( I had a relationships on a distance...And I tried to keep it in a distance after we celebrated my birthday. 1, 5 month without seeing each other, jealousy stuff and he started ignoring me and even saying that its too much costful to send me even sms's!... FYI he was French, I thought it wouldn't happen to me, but he did it, he disappeared without any explanation. Promised to send email and never did. Why? I don't know, maybe I didn't trust him much and the distance. But even under this circumstances he could have explained somthing to me but his cowardness was apparent!....

This is something that has just happened to me. I though things were going good, however, last week he stopped picking up my calls, stopped responded to text messages, just totally ignoring me. I don't know why. He won't talk to me.

What i find the most cowardly way to break up is, over msn or a text. Not facing the person, or having to have a chance for the other, to respond .

Send A Dear John Letter Tacky as it is, a Dear John letter gets the point across pretty darn quick. If you are heartless enough to end a relationship with a letter, the good news is that today's technology has allowed you to do it even easier.

Text Message Sending a text message is another alternative for the cowardly way to break off a relationship. It's quick, easy and also does not cost a thing. It's instantaneous because most people carry their cell phones with them at all times.

Over the phone Slightly less cowardly than an email or text message - a phone call can put the stops to your relationship woes rather effectively as well. The phone allows you to give your soon to be ex an opportunity to hear you speak the words.

You Can Fall Off The Face Of The Earth Avoidance… the most passive aggressive of all options has been shown to be one of the most emotionally damaging things you can do to another person.

You Let Them Hear It Through The Grapevine This wins the award for the most cowardly way to break up with someone… you never tell them, you don't acknowledge them or the break up, you fall off the face of the earth and allow them to hear it from someone other than you.

Under the influence A little Dutch courage might make taking the plunge a tad easier, but a sloppy split becomes all the more sloppy if you’ve had a few too many.

With cliches Let us just be clear here. Saying: “It’s not you, it’s me” is ridiculous. You’re breaking up. You don’t want to be together. There’s something (or some things) that you just aren’t into.

Remotely Yes, it is the 21st century, but breaking up is pretty much stuck in the past. Don’t even think about ending it online.

Mid date Telling her/him that it’s over before, during or after a date is the emotional equivalent of an ambush. It’s just not honest.

Post-milestone If you have any inkling that something may not be right, you don’t want to be making any major moves like purchasing a house or adopting a kid.

By assumption Sure, you’re clear on how you feel, but you’d better be sure she is too. Don’t take it for granted that a brief mention of how things aren’t going terribly well will be accepted as an end to the relationship.

Through provocation When a little boy pesters a little girl, it usually means he has a thing for her.

Publicly From your perspective, it may seem like a good idea to break the news in a public place, it’s like a no-man’s land, and that’s just the problem.

By cheating It’s almost guaranteed that it will be over if she finds out you’ve cheated, but you’ll also be forever known as the bastard she caught. It doesn’t matter how much you want to get out, or how much another woman catches your fancy, you’re bound to look bad if there’s any awkward overlap.

Through avoidance Again, clarity is the best policy. Yes, if you just quit answering phone calls, texts, e-mails, and your door, she’s bound to get the message, however, she’s also bound to get mighty upset, and you should know this is the worst way to break up with a woman.

Well put it this way ''Wood may remain ten years in the water, but it will never become a crocodile.'' Just hold that thought for a minute i am laying up the foundation. ''Can anyone on this planet change their skin colour or the leopard his spots?'' The curious paradox is that when i accept myself just as i am, then i can change. The person who trims him/herself to suit everybody will soon whittle away. My point is for starters it is clear that a cowardly person is One who shows ignoble fear in the face of danger or pain, a person who shrinks from avoiding difficulty, So from that stand point it is not necessary to expect the person to tell you Why? They acted in such cowardly manner. amongst other things there maybe some issue with their psychology state of mind as i mention earlier in relation to ''Fear.'' i guess in situation like that you just move on, of course it is not that simple but life ''Must'' go on.
