Here is a rebuttal. Doesn't this method create an "alpha ghost" scenario, in which a girl is ruined for the next guy because you broke up with her "the right way"? How damaging is it to a girls ego to be broken up with by a guy, it would be very hard for her to get over that. It would also be very hard to love her next guy as much as she loves the guy that didn't love her back. So, could it be argued that the best method, in terms of helping your fellow man as opposed to your own concept of "doing the right thing" is to ghost, act beta or fade away?[/quote]
No, it doesn't make an "alpha ghost" maybe she might pine for the alpha she had sure.
I don't think there is a "right" way, more like the best way possible given the scenario in front of you.
I don't think being a man and mature about relationships should lead to acting beta, stringing along or ghosting.
In my situation of almost 2 years, I was straight up, no BS, I didn't give her all the reason, just the issues she brought up, she thanked me for being honest, told me to let her know if I change my mind. We haven't talked since, and I have no intention of talking to her again.
Sure I broke her heart, but I didn't fuck her over, I didn't string her on, and I acted mature.

Why would you bend over backwards for the her next guy? You dont owe him any favours. Its his job to make her love him more than she loved you.
Think. The alpha who she always complains about her loser ex boyfriend about. Would you want to be the loser ex boyfriend in her eyes?[/quote]
It doesn't matter what you are in her eyes anymore, as soon as you break up, all bets are off, your dick can go from huge to a tic tac in her friends eyes, you could be the asshole, or you could be the mature dude who handled shit, and things didn't work out.
It doesn't matter, you don't owe her anything after you broke up with her and gave her the reasons for it.

Lets be honest, most long term relationships take years of trying to break up. What if you have tried to break up with a girl for two years, but for whatever reason you just cant shake her. That either one of you cant let the other go. Then it becomes much more complicated than "have a conversation where she will shed a few tears." There has to be a point where one person walks away for good. And usually its the woman.[/quote]
Disagree, it doesn't take years of breaking up, not in my eyes. Once you break up, it's done, it's over, nothing more.
You don't get back with her and break up again in an endless cycle.
You have to have the do not contact, abundance, and strong mindset to do this.
I was with mine for almost 2 years, once shit started getting serious on her end, I came to the forum, they agreed with what I should do. I dumped her for good reason.
I don't have time to waste on string girls along and breaking up and getting back together again.
If a woman catches feelings and you don't, you dump her. You don't string her along and play games. We aren't women, we don't follow with emotion, we handle the situation in front of us logically.

She
may still pursue you and try to drag things on, but thats not on you. You break things off and cut contact. If you had a kid wither her than you obviously can't "cut contact" but you keep things civil for the sake of the kid as best you can.
I have broken up with girls I have dated for years, and not because they fucked up and it was an obvious things needed to end, but simply because things were no longer working out for me and the direction I was going. Grow some balls and tell the girl the deal.
It's evasive and dishonest at best, and damaging at worst. Someone said earlier that it's fucked up how we bitch up and down about girl flaking and ghosting but who are you if you're doing the same thing? No better for sure.[/quote]

I firmly stand by the belief that if you are so deluded into believing that you have to talk everything out ad naseum, with every woman that comes into your life, you lack more important things going on in your life. Most likely more women. I dont really ever complain when a girl flakes or ghosts me, I am actually happy if not relieved when she does.[/quote]
You can't seriously compare a LTR to some date from a day cold approach or Tinder.
A LTR is serious, why ? Because you're investing your time into her more than a ONS or date.
Not sure why you're happy about a girl flaking or ghosts you. In fact I'd be more happy about a confimed date and the chance to bang her.

Mine specifically is about an LTR who
I tried recently to break up with for over 2 years. She moved to my neighborhood, less than a 5 minute walk away. You're right that its on me.
I would call her up when
I was horny or lonely. She was always there and pursuing me as well. I ghosted her about 5 times. This last time it was for good. To be honest I have never had an LTR end with a logical discussion. Its always been a painful event. And thats why I guess I avoid them now. All of my relationships now are short term.
In the event you have an LTR and you want to finalize your break up, of course you have the discussion, but
you back it up with no contact. Thats what most women do and its really effective. I know from experience. Now thats what I do and I havent had a bad break up in 5 years.[/quote]
Most of this was self inflicted on your part, you kept going back and forth with that LTR of yours, and guess what ? You invested all that time in it, when you could of been healing earlier.
You're absolutely right, it is on you, at least you learned something from it.
You shouldn't be afraid of an LTR, or anything about women in general. You should know how to handle women in a given situation in general and not have a fear about it.
