When a relationship breaks, it takes time to get past it. If that break also caught you by surprise, it is possible that before you start to overcome it spend some time trying to accept the end of your relationship. And during that time people ask you. Discover how to get out of the way when asked about your recent breakup.
When you have just broken up with your partner and you do not know what to say to people
You do not know what to say, because everything has happened so fast and is so recent that you do not even know if it’s about a definitive break. Maybe your exboyfriend reconsiders and wants to return, because you are still in time. Or maybe not, maybe you know your relationship is broken but you’re still trying to accept it. And people do not know your doubts or your feelings.
They ask you the same. Some people ask you where your boyfriend is, why he has not come to the party. I don’t know. Others, who already know that something has happened, will ask you directly how you carry it. Evil. Fatal. But neither is it a matter of being so direct, although if they do not cut themselves in asking you you do not have to cut yourself in answering. That depends on your personality, your character and also on your need to be honest.
Generally it is a good idea to go with the truth ahead, whoever falls. And if your ex-boyfriend has behaved like a crooked and has broken with you in a horrible way, you do not have to shut him up. Another thing is that you put adjectives to your ex, that leave it to others. But you may still feel that everything is not lost after the breakup, because every situation is different and you do not want to make it so clear that you have broken.
The politically correct answers like the one that you are giving a time work very well to stop the conversation at that point. Almost no one wants to continue inquiring in a situation of couple crisis, at least with one of the interested parties present. And if you do not digest well the politically correct, you can always say the classic ‘did not work’, but also makes it clear that now is not the time to talk about the subject.
