How do you tell them you are fed up with the relationship?

When it’s over! There are times when you will get fed up with a relationship and want to end things. The sad part though, is that when you have been living together, it becomes hard to kick the person out if they are not willing to leave. TWhen it’s over! There are times when you will get fed up with a relationship and want to end things. The sad part though, is that when you have been living together, it becomes hard to kick the person out if they are not willing to leave. There are many reasons partnhere are many reasons partners may be sticking around; probably they believe it is just a matter of time before you come around and change your mind on ending things; they have nowhere else to go; they are expecting your child and find it unfair that you are throwing them out; they are still in love with you, or they could perhaps just do not take you seriously. All your efforts at giving them the silent treatment or bluntly asking them to leave may fail and yet you cannot stand them anymore. What would you do? Beatrice Nakibuuka asked some people how they would get rid of their partner.

“If he works and only returns in the evening, I would shift and leave him in the house. This is the only way he can realise what his responsibilities are. I cannot bring another man in the house because they may fight,”
Shamirah Mugave, self employed

“Bringing another man would bring more trouble. I would disrespect him, and not give him time like I used to do. I can also find friends to help me speak to him. If he does not then I will move out,”
Irene Uwineza, businesswoman

“Nothing hurts like seeing the person you intimately loved not caring for you. I would bring another woman in the house. I cannot leave the house because I have been paying rent. It is her to find a way out and not me,”
Michael Otimu , married

“I would not advise separation even when you feel you cannot hold it anymore. Take some time and think of what attracted you to this person. Love comes softly,”
Hudson Kasawuli, lecturer

“Even if it looks awkward for a man to leave a house, I would just leave. If I force her out of the house, she may call police to arrest me. If I had built the house, I would mortgage it so there is no way she can stay,”
Marvin Kasozi, student

“If I am tired of you, there is no compromise and if we had no children, the better. I would get my belongings from the house but be lenient enough to pay for her rent for only one month as she finds where to go,”
Julius Mwesigye , single IT technician

“I would bring my friends to make him feel uncomfortable. I would also stop all that I was doing for him, I would disrespect him, come back home late, do not cook or wash for him until he feels he must leave,”
Sheba Habibah Nagujja, self employed

“I would leave the house and if I had built it, I would bring tenants and I go rent somewhere else. I would not tell her or any of her friends where I have gone because she may try to look for me,”
Ali Tebusweeke, radio personality

“I know it is not easy to bring a relationship to an end, especially when that person has not done anything wrong, but if I am really tired of a relationship, I would fake my HIV status. I believe this can irritate her and eventually quit the relationship. Alternatively, I would tell her frankly after weighing the advantages and disadvantages,”
Geoffrey Wanjala, Mechanic

“I would change my behaviour at home, for instance, I would stop eating food from home until she understands that I no longer want to be with her,”
Shafic Bamwine, Mechanic

“I would wait until he quarrels, then capitalise on that to express my dissatisfaction about the relationship. Then I would explain to him that I have made up my mind to quit,”
Evelyn Tugabwire, Teacher

“I would organise a surprise dinner. While at the dinner, I make sure we discuss the achievements and failures ever since we started dating. Then I base on the failures to explain why our relationship should come to an end,”
Aggrey Matsiko, Accountant

“I would prepare a good meal. Then I humbly tell him the reasons I think our relationship should come to an end,”
Gloria Were, Chef

“I would write him a letter telling him that I am tired of the relationship. This I would give to his close friend or put it in a place where he can see it easily. In this letter, I would make sure I explain why I am quitting the relationship,”
Gift Nankunda, Hair stylist
