I really thought I was going the right route, but turns out I biffed it up royally. Learn from my mistakes.
, a New York City psychologist and author of “How to Fix a Broken Heart,” adds that a text may be sufficient—. Welp, right out of the gates I biffed it, since our friendship was nearly a decade old and was firmly established.

And, honestly, I did truly value the friendship. She had been a main source of support during my horrible and isolating mental health crisis, a clinical
that dragged on for years. I certainly could have devoted a few words to thank her for her steadfast loyalty. Instead, I plowed forward and omitted that very relevant fact., Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author of “The Friendship Fix,” tells Buzzfeed that, when approaching a breakup, you need to avoid mentioning their shortcomings, and make it about you and your needs. Ugh. When I think about this one, my breakup text nearly makes me sick.
I really thought I was going the right route, especially since her invitations didn’t organically fizzle out. I chose texting since I didn’t want her to have to juggle plans and meet me over lattes, just to hear I didn’t want to be her friend anymore. And, I wanted to give her an explanation instead of ghosting her. But a little pre-breakup research could have made the whole thing easier on her. Would I do things differently next time? Yes. Do I pray there won’t be a next time? Also yes.
