“We understand the world through the stories or narratives we tell ourselves. Without any closure at the end of a relationship, we may keep wondering what it was about ourselves, the other person, or the situation that caused the relationship to end. When we do not have the ‘facts’ to answer these questions, our brains begin to make up information to fill in the missing gaps. This made-up information can cause significant distress and hinder us from entering into a new healthy relationship,” opines Sara Makin, licensed professional therapist, stressing the importance of a kind, respectful, and non-judgmental closure.

Although ending a relationship through a text or email is not recommended, if you have to do it anyway, there are some things you should include and avoid.

Makin suggests, “Avoid blaming the other person or their qualities and traits for the ending of the relationship and stick to what you know. List your reason for the breakup clearly. Only include your thoughts and feelings; do not predict what the other person may be thinking or feeling. Finally, show appreciation for the positive times that you spent together.”

  1. The hurt of leaving you is unbearable, but being heartbroken is better than living a lie in the form of a relationship. I never thought our journey would ever end; I was so sure of you and this relationship. But as fate would have it, things changed for the worse. With a heavy heart, I am saying goodbye to this five-year-long relationship.
  2. While I was busy loving and enjoying our moments together, you were busy trying to mold me according to your whims and fancies. I wish you had not deceived me with your fake love and care. Maybe we could have saved our relationship. But now, all I can say is goodbye.
  1. It breaks my heart, but I need to do it. I have to break up with you not because I do not love you but because it is right. We cannot go on with these daily fights and misunderstandings and hurt each other. We have to accept that separating is the best decision for both of us, no matter how much it hurts today. I love you. Goodbye.
  2. It is such a sad reality that we failed to understand each other even after spending so much time together. Let us separate and see if things work out between us. It is the only solution I can see for now. Goodbye!
  3. Love is like a tide; it rises and falls. Unfortunately, my love for you is a tide that has fallen for good. I know it is hard to hear, but I owe it to you, to be honest. I hope you will move on like the mighty ocean waves with power and purpose. Good luck in the future.
  4. The time I spent with you was perfect, joyful, and exhilarating. But what we didn’t expect was that the storm of time would uproot all our happiness. Today, I am in such a fix in my life that I cannot promise a fulfilling future to you, my love. Hope we meet again in better circumstances. Till then, goodbye.
  5. It takes all the courage in the world to say goodbye to someone with whom you have so many memories to treasure. But I have concluded that breaking up is the best decision for us now. I pray to the Lord that you will have better health and a better life.
  6. Baby, I am sorry, but I cannot weave more lies and tell you that I still love you. We both know there is no love between us anymore. That said, I will always hold respect and admiration for you. I don’t blame you for our situation, but I blame my fate! My heart is shattered. My eyes weep as I say goodbye to you. May you have all the happiness in life that couldn’t give you!
  7. Everyone should have friends, and I have never discouraged you from enjoying a healthy social life. But it seems you cannot forget about your ex-boyfriend and still hang out with him. I am tired of always being your number two and cannot listen to your lies anymore. Good luck and have a very happy life.
  8. Bidding you farewell is like a nightmare coming to life. I will always cherish all the good times we had together. Take care, dear. You will always be a part of my heart, and I wish the best for you.
  9. Unfortunately, time and communication didn’t help me get rid of the mental image of you with someone else. More than the fact that you cheated on me, it hurts me that you didn’t come to me with your dissatisfaction. In some ways, I can understand – I don’t completely blame you. But I cannot accept that you chose not to be honest with me. At this point, I cannot move past this and trust you. I hope you will understand, but this is goodbye.
  10. All I ever hoped for was your love and trust. But when you cheated on me, all my dreams about our future came crashing down around me. Now, I need some time to gather the broken pieces of my heart, and I need to do it alone. I hope we will meet again and form a new friendship. But right now, I need to leave this relationship behind and move on.
  11. It is impossible to say farewell to someone who holds a special place in your heart. I don’t fully understand how we got here, but we are at a stage in life where there is no turning back. I feel powerless and cannot stop my tears from flowing. I never expected this moment to ever come between us. But here it is. I wish you well in your future. Goodbye.
  12. I understand things haven’t been exactly rosy between us lately. The dark clouds of mistrust and jealously have replaced the sunshine of your lovely smile. Trust me, I want to quash all these doubts, but I feel tied down by my self-respect. So, let us end it here. I hope you find someone you can trust and invest in openly.

  1. Hey, I want to let you know that I appreciate how good you have been to me all these months. However, I want to be solo right now, and being in a relationship isn’t my cup of tea. I am breaking up with you. Maybe I will wish I didn’t, maybe I will be happier, but it doesn’t matter. I need to move on.
  2. I loved you, and I know you loved me, too. However, things nose-dived when you couldn’t be honest with me and decided to cheat. There is nothing left to discuss or understand because the guy I thought I met would have treated me more kindly. It is the end for me; I want to break up.
  3. It is very painful for me to see that I am losing you bit by bit every day. I know you will never return, and I cannot wait any longer. So, it is in our best interest to end it right now. We don’t belong together. Thank you for being with me all this time. It is time to say goodbye.
  4. Today, I finally understood why they say love is not enough without communication and trust. I hope you reflect on why you chose to have an affair instead of working on our differences together. Please do not contact me; it will hurt too much. It is best if we both move on. Take care.
  5. I already feel I will regret this letter because you gave me such pleasure that no other man could ever give. Just by being you, you brought out the best in me. Your love has brought me to the tallest heights that could be expected. However, this is the end of the road for us.
  6. Our meetings no longer excite me. Our phone calls feel like a chore. I don’t mean to hurt you, but it just doesn’t feel right anymore. Sometimes feelings just fade, and we can do nothing about it. I wish you the happiest life. Goodbye.
  7. I tried hard to express my feelings for you, but you never seemed interested. It is painful and exhausting to be the only partner working for the relationship to succeed. I cannot take it anymore. Maybe we aren’t compatible. I want to end this and wish you the best in the future.
  8. I just need to get it off my chest; I am no longer in love with you. I don’t know if I ever was, but all the memories with you are beautiful. Maybe I just wanted to have what everyone has: a stable relationship, a house, and a dog. But now, my priorities have shifted. I am sorry for complicating things. Emotions are just dynamic.
  9. We had the best time when we were together. But it is hard to be in a relationship when there is no space to breathe, and you feel smothered. Right now, I need autonomy and independence in my life. So, we need to face the truth and walk away from each other’s life.
  10. I will never deny that I loved you, but things changed with time. I just want to be honest about my feelings so that both of us can move on. The love and affection are not the same as before between us. Thus, we should part ways peacefully. I am breaking up.
  11. Our breakup hurts me greatly, but I would rather heal a broken heart than suffer in a disappointing relationship. You promised to be better when I told you about your shortcomings several times. But now I realize they were all just hollow words. I cannot take it anymore; I want to end this relationship. Goodbye.
  12. There is nothing more painful than living in a phony relationship. All you get is disappointment and hurt. So, it is time to end all drama and be realistic. It is my goodbye message to you. Stay happy.
  13. Lately, all we do is fight, argue, and shout. So, there is no place left for love, understanding, and compassion. We both can take the blame for the eventual demise of our relationship. So, let us not stretch it further and give ourselves a break. Thank you for all the love and happy memories.
  14. All I want to say is we had a perfect relationship with just one fatal flaw. We have no future together. Let us be brave so that we can move on to better things. I want to end it now. Goodbye.
  15. You used to make me feel special during the initial phase of our relationship. I became crazy about you and never imagined my life without you. But now, with all your work stuff and social engagements, I feel ignored and taken for granted. I have to give myself the love I deserve. So, I am saying goodbye now to say hello to a new life without you.
  16. My feelings changed, and I am so sorry for that. There is no other man involved here; there is just a change in the way I look at you. I know you deserve more than I can give you. Please forgive me and goodbye.
  17. Hey, I want you to know that this decision is tearing me apart. Over time, I’ve realized that we’ve grown in different directions. Our dreams, our priorities, they don’t align anymore. It’s not about blaming each other; it’s about acknowledging that we both deserve happiness, even if it’s not together.
  18. I cherish the beautiful moments we’ve shared, but lately, I’ve felt like something’s missing. It’s not fair to either of us to pretend otherwise. I need to find my own path, and I believe you too deserve someone who can fully reciprocate the love you give.
  19. Our relationship has been an incredible journey, but I can’t ignore the fact that we’ve been drifting apart. I’ve been struggling with my own personal growth, and I feel like I need to do this alone for a while. It’s time to find out who I am outside of us.

  22. I’ve been doing a lot of soul-searching, and it’s become clear that our paths are diverging. I’ve been trying to find my own happiness within our relationship, but it’s time for me to step back and search for it within myself.
  23. I want you to know that you mean the world to me, but I can’t ignore the growing feeling of being held back. We have our own dreams and aspirations, and I think it’s time for both of us to pursue them separately.
  24. I hope you understand that this decision doesn’t diminish the love and appreciation I have for you. We’ve had some truly magical moments together, but it’s time for me to explore life independently and see what the future holds.
  25. I’ve always believed that honesty is the foundation of any relationship. So, it’s important for me to admit that I’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately, and I think it’s best for both of us to take a step back and breathe.
  26. I truly hope you get someone who can give you their whole heart because lately, I’ve been struggling to do that. It’s time for us to release each other and look for the happiness we both deserve, even at the expense of walking different paths.
  27. I want you to know that breaking up is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I’ve realized that I’ve been holding onto our relationship more out of fear than love. I need to face my fears and discover who I am outside of this comfort zone.
  28. Our love has been a beautiful chapter in my life, but every story has an ending, and I believe it’s time for us to close this chapter. We’ve been through so much, and I hope you find the strength to move forward just as I must.
  29. I’ve always admired your strength and resilience, but lately, I’ve felt like I’m losing myself. This is not a decision I take lightly, but I believe it’s the best way for us both to find our individual paths to happiness.
  30. The laughter we’ve shared, the tears we’ve wiped away, they are moments I will always treasure. But I can’t ignore the feeling that we’ve become more like best friends than lovers. It’s time for us to set each other free.
  31. I’ll always remember the love and support you’ve given me, and it’s because of that love that I’m doing this. I need to learn to stand on my own two feet and grow as an individual. I hope you understand.
  32. I want you to know that this decision doesn’t mean I don’t care about you. It’s just that we’ve been on different pages lately, and it’s time for me to turn a new one in my life’s story.

  37. Breaking up with you is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but it’s also the most honest. We’ve both changed; and as much as I’ve tried to deny it, our connection isn’t the same anymore. I hope we can find the happiness we seek separately.
  38. Our love story has been a beautiful chapter in my life, and I will always cherish the memories we’ve made. However, I’ve come to realize that we’ve grown into different people with different needs. It’s time for us to pursue our individual journeys.
  39. I want you to know that my decision is not a reflection of your worth or the love I have for you. I’ve been struggling to give you the love and attention you deserve, and it’s only fair that we both have the opportunity to thrive on our own.
  40. The bond we shared was special, but lately, it’s felt like we’re holding onto something that’s already slipped away. It’s time for us to let go and discover what life has in store for us individually.

  42. I’ll forever be grateful for the love we’ve shared, but it’s time for me to take a step back and regain my sense of self. We both deserve to be with people who can offer their whole; and right now, I can’t.
  43. I’ve learned so much from our time together, but I can’t deny that recently I feel that this relationship is in some ways hindering my growth as an individual. It seems to me that I have lost vision of my own aspirations and dreams and only think about us. I need to rediscover myself, and I think I need to do that on my own.
  44. Our relationship has been a source of happiness and support, but it’s also become a crutch that’s preventing me from standing on my own. I need to learn to rely on myself and become the person I want to be.

  46. You’ve been an incredible partner, and I hope you find someone who can give you the love and attention you deserve. As for me, I need to embark on a journey of self-discovery and find the happiness that comes from within.
  47. As I sit here writing this, my heart aches, but I know deep down it’s the right decision. We’ve had our fair share of ups and downs, but lately, it’s been more down than up. It’s time for us to part ways and find the peace we both need.
  48. Our love story has been a beautiful chapter in my life, but every chapter has its end. I’ve realized that I need to focus on my own growth and happiness, and I hope you find the same on your journey.
  49. I want you to understand that my decision to end this relationship is not a rejection of you as a person. You’re incredible, and you deserve to be with someone who can give you their all. Right now, I need to find myself again and heal.
  50. Saying goodbye to you is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it’s also an act of self-love. We’ve been drifting apart, and it’s time for both of us to rediscover what truly makes us happy, even if it means doing it separately.

  15. I think you will agree that we just couldn’t make our relationship work despite trying our best. I don’t want to keep watering a dead plant, so I think we should end here peacefully. I am sorry, but this is goodbye.

  15. Baby, I am tired of our constant fights. While I know part of it is my fault, discussions are a better way of solving disputes than fighting.

Breakups involve grief and pain. The parting words echo in your conscience long after a relationship has ended. So, choose to be kind and respectful while writing a breakup message for her.

Amid heartbreak, there is often no answer to ease the grief and loss. “In times like these, the final moment of honesty is a way to honor the hard work and intimacy you have practiced up until now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it OK to write a breakup letter?

While it’s not the preferred way, you can break up via a letter under certain circumstances:
• If seeing the person is too hard because they cheated on you.
• If your partner tends to get aggressive or violent.
• If you are in a long-distance relationship.
But, let them know why you chose to break up over a letter instead of a call or meeting them face to face.

Is it okay to break up over text?

There are certain circumstances in which breaking up over text is practical. If you are in a long-distance relationship or if your partner is abusive, you can break up via text. You can also choose this method if you know meeting them will put you in an on-again-off-again cycle.

Why is silence so powerful after a breakup?

If you keep communicating with an ex after breaking up, it may give them hope that there is a chance you both can get together again. Talking to your ex after breaking up may also not let either of you move on. Disconnect from them and maintain radio silence so they know exactly where you stand. You may also want to go silent on social media and with certain friends to give yourself time to heal from the breakup.
