Ending a relationship isn’t easy. When you decide to end things you need to find some good methods for breaking up with your boyfriend as you don’t want to cause him unnecessary pain. You don’t want to make him angry and certainly don’t want him to become some sort of stalker. But it is really important to understand that not all relationships built to last and coming out of such relationship are equally challenging. This could be also because you don’t want a scene that you know your boyfriend will create or you are just too afraid to acknowledge that the relationship has run its course. While it is always best to tell your boyfriend directly and bite the bullet and get it over with, there are other ways to break it up too.

So, if you are looking for ways to break it off without saying it aloud, here are seven ways to get your boyfriend dump you.

1. Start Acting Distant

Remember in the first throes of love how you used to constantly calling each other because you couldn’t stay apart? Well, if you want your boyfriend to dump you that behavior is a big no-no. Instead, it is time to put some distance between him and you. Start by not answering his call or responding to his text messages. In case you do talk to him, tell him you are busy and can’t speak to him. Or, if you have made plans to go on a date, call up the last minute and tell him you have something else to do.

Once you start acting distant, your boyfriend will figure it out that you are avoiding him and don’t want to spend time with him. Sooner (or later) he is bound to call the relationship off.

2. Behave Like Me Know-it-All

No man likes to be in a company of a woman who believes she knows everything there is to know. And, this is one of the best ways to get your boyfriend to dump you. Show him at any given opportunity that you are always right, and keep rubbing it in. Adopt this attitude even if you are not right. Begin to nitpick everything he does or says; suggest doing things your way because it is the ‘right’ way.

You will be surprised how quickly this behavior will push your boyfriend away from you. He will think you are arrogant and rude, and within a few weeks he will dump you. What a relief!

3. Flirt with Other Guys

Jealousy has killed many relationships. So, why should yours be any different? Jealousy comes from being insecure, paranoid or obsessive. Hence, if you have this clingy and needy boyfriend you no longer want in your life, stoke that jealousy by flirting with other guys. Bat eyelashes at men, sashay around, and dole out your mobile number like hot cakes.

This will make your boyfriend upset. However, don’t stop. Continue flirts and you will get dumped before you can say ‘Jack Rabbit’!

4. Become Clingy and Needy

Nothing is more off-putting than a partner who is needy, clingy and insecure. A healthy relationship means having friends and pursuits beyond your partner and relationship. But, you can use this to your advantage. Accuse your partner of not making time for you; spending too much time with his friends or hobby; and eying other girls. Then begin insisting you constantly want to be with him and you do not have a life beyond the relationship.

Success will yours very shortly, with your boyfriend dumping you as it is very difficult to cope with a jealous and suspicious partner.

5. Pick Up Fights for No Reason

Look for small things to start a fight. Blame him for everything. Keep harping about his negatives, and it will frustrate him to no end. Initially, he will try to placate you and get you to see some reason. However, don’t relent. Remember your goal – he needs to dump you. So go on fighting, arguing and being unreasonable. Your boyfriend will get so frustrated that he will throw in the towel after some time.

He will be thanking his lucky stars that he got away from you before it was too late while you can scream with glee as you have found the secret to get your boyfriend to dump you.

6. Don’t Tell Him You Love Him

Saying you love a person is reaffirming the faith in the relationship, and partners love to hear those three precious words. So, each time your boyfriend tells you he love you, avoid saying it back. Instead, be noncommittal and mutter something incoherent. If you do end up saying you love him, be as unconvincing as possible that your boyfriend begins to doubt your feelings for him.

It will reach a stage where he will decide that he cannot stay with a woman who doesn’t love him or care for him, and he will dump you.

7. Stop Physical Intimacy

Physical intimacy is necessary for a relationship to be a success; and when it is missing from a relationship, there is a reason to worry. So, whether it is sex, kissing, holding hands, hugging or snuggling, stop all forms of physical intimacy. Make excuses to avoid the intimacy or pull away. He will be puzzled in the beginning wondering what is causing this reaction from you. He may even try and get you to speak about it. Do not give him an answer.

In a few weeks or months, your boyfriend will dump you because a healthy relationship cannot function without some degree of physical intimacy.

8. Talk more about Ex

This is one of the factors that makes most of the guys jealous and crazy. Whether you mention your ex’s name for good reasons or bad, your boyfriend will never be able to handle it with positivity. So if you want to put an end to your current relationship and want your boyfriend to leave you without any melodrama, then using your ex’s name is the best way to do it. Praise your ex in front of your boyfriend, pretend like you still love him and want him back in your life.

9. Forget Important days

Forgetting important days like birthdays and anniversaries is something that annoys many people. So if your boyfriend ever mentions any important occasion or days, just tell him that you completely forgot or don’t want to come. Tell him that the things which matters to him might not that important to you and you have so many other priorities that needs time and focus. Repeat this behavior few times and I am sure this will surely irritate your guy and he will ask for the break up soon.

10. Date his best buddy

Be it a guy or girl, almost everyone hates this one particular factor. No girl or guy can see their girlfriend or boyfriend dating their best friends. So use the chance and go out with his best buddy and grow the friendship to make your boyfriend jealous. Ask him small favors like fixing your laptop or plumbing, invite him to your home, go out for a movie, introduce him to your friends. All these things will make your boyfriend go crazy and red with anger. And you never know, he might leave you someday out of frustration.

11. Act like you don’t care

When you don’t care for someone, the distances and differences automatically grow. So act a little weird and act like you don’t care. Behave all weird when you go out on a dinner or party. Do not let your boyfriend talk to anyone, especially girls and if he talks to a girl, make a scene and blame him for flirting. Raise your voice until you get the attention of everyone present around. This whole act will embarrass your boyfriend a lot and he will be left with no other option than to dump you. So do it, after all, that’s what you want.

12. Befriend his friends

It is a big fact that guys are more sensitive than girls when it comes to friendship. And if you want to create disputes between you and your boyfriend, then disliking his friends, complaining about them and befriending them is one of the best ways to do it.

13. Tell them you are busy

Whenever your boyfriend comes up with a plan, tell him you are busy and have other plans. If he still insist, tell him you need your own space and want to spend some time alone away from him. This will give him a clue that you are no more interested in him and will help you to get dumped.
