<\/p>\n
\nHey [Insert Name]<\/strong><\/h5>\n
I hope that you’re doing well. I’ve \u00a0been wanting to talk to you about something for a really long time now, but you’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t really had the chance to say this. A lot has happened in my life since we last met, and you were so busy that we did not get to talk about our lives and our relationship.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Do you remember how I always used to talk about going abroad to study? That’s been my dream since childhood, and it’s the reason why I applied to a University in the United States. I wasn’t really expecting a positive response, but two weeks ago I received a letter and then a phone call from them, informing me that I’ve been selected. They’ve asked me to join from the next semester. I can\u2019t even tell you how happy and excited I am. This would be the breakthrough that I’ve been yearning for.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
I’m telling you this because we’ve been together for quite some time now. I will have to leave next month and it would be foolish to pretend that our relationship would\u00a0not\u00a0 be affected by this move. I’ve spent some of the most beautiful times of my life with you. The memories that we have made together mean so much to me. I don\u2019t think I would ever be able to forget the beautiful time that I’ve spent with you, \u00a0but I have no choice. <\/strong><\/h5>\n
Moving to\u00a0the United States\u00a0would change my entire life. I\u2019ll meet new people and make new friends. We won\u2019t be able to give each other the time that we deserve, and this would lead to nothing\u00a0but insecurities\u00a0and fights. I don\u2019t want to end up losing you as a friend, and I hope you don’t want that either.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
I believe that the best thing for both of us would be to say our goodbyes. I’ve seen a lot of couples failing miserably at long distance relationships, and I don’t think we’d be able to survive that kind of relationship. We are both young and we have our entire lives ahead of us. It’s better if we make brave decisions and live our lives to the fullest.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
You are intelligent and beautiful, and I\u2019m sure that you will find a new partner soon, and you can focus on your career as well. I want you to know that I have always believed in your abilities. I am positive that you are going to have an amazing journey through life. It\u2019s time that you start seeing new people. It would be better for both of us.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Once we\u2019ve both healed, it would mean a lot to me if we could be friends. I will be leaving soon and I wish you all the best in life. Take care!<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A letter like this would be a good approach where you need to end a relationship but feel that the situation could spiral out of control if you met face to face to discuss it. It could also be a good idea if you never seem to find the right time to discuss things in person, because you’re always busy or you always see one another in a public place.<\/p>\n

Text Message Template 2 <\/span><\/span>| “<\/span><\/span>I’m Emotionally Unavailable”<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
\nHi [Insert Name],<\/strong><\/h5>\n
I hope everything is good with you. You might be wondering why I’m suddenly sending you this long message. There is something important that I need to tell you. I know it’s weird to be saying this in a text message and not in person, but I can\u2019t be in a relationship with you anymore. Please do not panic and please listen to everything that I have to say.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
It has only been a few weeks since I’ve known you. I don\u2019t know what I was thinking when I started seeing you. I can\u2019t even tell you how much of a healer you have been to me. Yes, a healer.\u00a0Actually,\u00a0there’s something that I have kept hidden from you.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
When I met you, I was not really looking for a relationship, because for the past four years, I have been in a relationship with my childhood best friend. Everything was great and we were the perfect couple. All our friends and family adored us, and we were madly in love with each other. We were even thinking about getting married. <\/strong><\/h5>\n
But then something absolutely devastating happened. One of his colleagues told me that my partner was having an affair in the office. This news left me in shock and despair. I believed this story and started fighting with my partner. I became so insecure and depressed that my parents suggested that I should consider therapy. After weeks of fighting, I decided to leave.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Even after I left, I could not get over the relationship. I was in pain. All I could ever think of was how badly I missed my partner. I needed an escape from the depression I was in. That\u2019s when you came along. I hate to break this to you, but you were something of a rebound for me. <\/strong><\/h5>\n
You seemed perfect, and full of ambition, and your beautiful mind attracted me. You were so sweet and chivalrous. You were the perfect escape for me. You’ve given me some beautiful memories and I will never forget them. But I \u00a0realise now that we can\u2019t take it any further than that.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
A few days ago, that\u00a0same\u00a0colleague called me. He told me that whatever he had said to me about my partner and the affair was a lie. He made all of that up to break us apart. He told me that they had had some sort of a fight at the office and he wanted to take revenge. <\/strong><\/h5>\n
He knew how important I was for my partner and decided to cause tension between us. Well, he succeeded at that. He has confessed the whole story now because he was feeling guilty.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The truth is that I can never love anyone else. I don\u2019t want to lie to you and that’s why I’m telling you that I am back with my ex. I don\u2019t want to continue my relationship with you,\u00a0but I do want you to know that the time we spent together was wonderful. <\/strong><\/h5>\n
I wish you a great life ahead. Take care!<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This template would again work well if you don’t feel able to meet face to face to break off a relationship, perhaps because you’d both find it too upsetting in person. Alternatively, if the person you’re breaking up with works away from where you live and you don’t see them very often, this template could make things easier for you.<\/p>\n
