Overcoming the fear of hurting someone!

If you are a decent human being and you spent some (quality) time with another person, you should obviously have some emotional attachments (the good kind hopefully)! Unless off course, you are one of these lucky bastards who don’t give a shit; In that case, skip this whole blog! However, keep in mind that if you are already thinking about taking flight 666 out of hell, you already made up your mind that the shit you are in, ain’t working! So, by postponing the inevitable it does not do you or the other person any good. Do not worry! You will both survive! So, here is a simple recipe…. Be nice and tell the truth no matter what it is. Do it in a nice and soft way, and lower your voice volume as much as possible. Use the sandwich method of bad news; say something nice, spread the meat, and then close with something nice! For example use something like this … “Honey, you are one of the most wonderful people that I have met in my life, but as you and I know, this relationship is not working out. This is not good for me, but most importantly, it does not look like it is good for you either, and I am concern more about you than I. So, because I would like us to stay friends and not damage our friendship we should move on. I will miss you because you are such a great person.” This is when you hug and kiss! But once you are on that “flight”, do not answer the phone or emails for the next two weeks. If you do, you will be sucked right back in! Good luck…. Try it… let us know how it goes….
