Falling out of love happens, but how you handle it says a lot about the kind of person you are.

When your heart is no longer in it, don’t act in a way that ruins your peace or hurts someone’s soul.

Here are 5 things you should never do:

1. Don’t demand too much from them just to push them away.
Don’t start setting impossible standards hoping they’ll fail. That’s man!pulation.
If you’ve lost interest, be honest instead of cruel.

2. Don’t start entertaining someone else while they’re still emotionally tied to you.
Healing doesn’t start from deceit.
Respect the fact that someone still believes in you. End it with clarity, not confusion.

3. Don’t stay because of guilt.
You don’t owe anyone a relationship out of pity.
You can care about someone deeply and still realize they’re not your person.

4. Don’t use silence as punishment.
Avoiding conversations only delays the heartbreak.
Be kind enough to communicate. Closure is a form of respect too.

5. Don’t let bitterness replace honesty.
You may not love them anymore, but you can still leave with grace.
You can walk away clean without breaking someone’s spirit on your way out.

Because real maturity isn’t just in how you love, it’s in how you leave.
