If you do not want to be with someone, the best way to end a relationship is to just break it off face to face. Do not go behind their backs and see other people. You have no idea the damage you are causing. Once you hurt someone like that, a person doesn’t just come out of that relationship the same way. Don't be the reason why someone is scared to get hurt again. It doesn't feel good being the person that hurts someone, and it feels worse being the person that is left hurt.

1. Trust Issues. Once you give someone your trust and they break it, it is hard to give your trust away again. Not trusting people is a defense mechanism to protect yourself from getting hurt again.

2. Insecure. I feel like I am not good enough. I couldn’t make someone happy enough to be the only one in a relationship. Was I really worth losing over some hookup?

3. Heartbroken. When I found out the person I was in love with was all a lie, my heart shattered. The guy I was falling for didn’t even respect me enough to tell the truth. You could look me in the face and act like nothing happened.

4. Worth. Finding out is one of the worst parts, especially if you find out from someone else. Never be so cowardly to let your significant other find out from someone else what you did. It shows you can’t even respect them enough to come forward. I feel like I wasn't even worth telling and being honest.

5. No room for friendship. There is no second chance to even be friends. If you break things off honestly and faithfully, there is still a chance for a friendship down the road.

6. Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift saved my life. Before He Cheats was basically non-stop playing for a week straight. I may have thought about keying a car and slashing some tires.

7. Moving on. I can move on, but I will never look at you the same way.

8. I won't feel bad for you. Never play the self guilt card to get the person you cheated on back. You should feel bad for what you did, that does not make me want to come running back because you realized it was a mistake.

9. Red flags. I will never dismiss red flags so easily anymore. If I see someone is messaging their ex, I will definitely be questioning that.

10. What does she have that I don’t? What made her worth it? I see her and she must have something I don’t. I hope that girl made losing me worth it.

11. I don’t need you. I thought you were the one, but when I saw your true colors I found myself and I realized I can be just as happy without you. You did not complete me, being happy with myself does. The problem wasn’t me, it was you.
