How do I breakup with a girl who is financially dependent on me?

Surviving a relationship break-up can be one of the most difficult things we ever do and on an emotional level can be one of the most painful processes in our lives. Losing a boyfriend/girlfriend or a husband/wife can feel like your heart is literally being torn out. It is not unheard of to talk to students on campus who express suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm at the ending of a relationship. At UHC-Student Counselling Services, relationship issues are one of the top three reasons students seek counselling, many of whom are going through break-ups. People are not well equipped to deal with break-ups, because we rarely are taught anything about healthy coping after a break-up. This handout is designed to give you helpful strategies to cope with your break-up in the healthiest way possible. By using these suggestions, it will not stop you from experiencing the pain of the loss, but instead, will help you move through the grieving process as quickly as possible
