Typically, you can tell when you�re in a relationship that�s really going nowhere, and you can feel when you�re ready to end that relationship. While it�s always good to know where you stand, it�s also wise to realize when the time of the break up is not right. Obviously, breaking up is never going to be easy, but you can make it even worse by choosing the wrong time to end a relationship.
For instance, birthdays are TERRIBLE times to break up with someone. So if you know that you�re going to end a relationship, please do so well BEFORE his birthday or well AFTER it. If you choose the day before, of, or the day after his birthday to break up, it will always leave a bad feeling with him. Every birthday is going to remind him that his relationship ended at that time. So, if you can manage it, time the break up so that it�s a decent amount of time on either side of his birthday and never, ever make it on the birthday itself.
Another awful break up day is Valentine�s Day. This is the day for lovers and couples to celebrate every year. If you decide to end your relationship on this day, you run the risk of ruining it for him for a very long time, if not forever. That�s why knowing when you�re ready to leave a relationship is a good thing as you can time the break up for a day that doesn�t mean anything to either of you.
Holidays should never be used to end a relationship for many reasons. Obviously, one of them is that this particular holiday may never be enjoyable again if the break up is pretty bad. Another reason is that some people tend to buy expensive and extravagant gifts during the holidays. If you end your relationship prior to the holidays, you can save both you and your about to be ex-partner a lot of money because you most likely won�t be buying gifts for each other. In addition, the holidays just turn into very sad occasions when a relationship ends during them. This is true of the days immediately before and after them.
The basic rule of thumb is to get your break up out of the way as far ahead of any special day as possible. If you can�t do that, then you should try to grin and bear it through the special day and wait at least a couple of weeks afterward before making the big break. In this way, you�re saving someone a lot of misery that could follow him well into the future. You should be kind about the timing of your break up.
The exception to this rule is if your about to be ex is cheating on you and you just found out, or he�s done something even more horrendous. In cases such as those, he DESERVES to be miserable for future special days.
