The Worst Way To Break Up With Someone - Matthew Hussey, Get The Guy

The Importance of Leaving Relationships on Good Terms

In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of leaving relationships on good terms and how it can benefit us in the future.

Burning Bridges

• Many people burn bridges with others when they leave a situation, assuming they will never need to interact with that person again.

• Relationships are cyclical and have a way of coming back around. How we end them can determine whether we can go back to that person later on.

• People often think they will never need to use someone again, so they burn their bridges. However, people have a strange way of coming back into our lives.

Leaving Relationships on Good Terms

• Keeping things good with people even when you're ending a relationship is important. It may mean playing both sides a little bit because you know that at some point in the future you may actually want to go back to that person or vice versa.

• The key question is whether anything we're doing right now is making it really difficult for this person to come back to us in the future if we were ever having to reunite in some way.

• Leave relationships that you have to leave, but do so in a manner that doesn't make it impossible for them to come back into your life. After all, if you've put all of that time into the relationship in the first place, why wouldn't you still want them available?

Overall, it's important not to burn bridges when ending relationships as they may be beneficial later on. Instead, focus on leaving relationships on good terms and keeping them available for potential future interactions.
