How to break up with a Libra man easily
April 30, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
No breakup is easy — the best you can do is minimize the sting. And let’s assume that you’re not seeking advice to make your own life easier, but rather to let him go with the least possible harm done.
Although Libra is not the most sensitive sign in the zodiac, he is one of the most relationship-focused. Assuming he’s not been unfaithful, he’ll likely be devastated when you break the news.
Don’t do it over email, IM or text message. Libra is a face-to-face type of guy, and the impersonal nature of internet communication can leave him feeling cold. Although breaking up over the computer or via SMS is nearly always an inappropriate escape route, Libra will experience this technological goodbye as a grave affront.
Be fair. To appeal to Libra’s sense of balance, focus equally on each of your faults and strengths. Better yet, frame the reason(s) for the breakup in terms of “the relationship” instead of what he did wrong. For example, state that “we” had difficulty managing the issue of his flirtatiousness at parties and how you emotionally responded to his behavior. That is, it takes two to tango, and you each had a part to play in whatever led to the breakup. It may be your decision, but you’re not an innocent bystander.
Break the news in a pleasing environment. He’ll remember this moment, so you may as well reduce his future suffering by picking a nice spot. If his recollection is going to hurt, it will be worse if he has an image of your last moments near the dumpster behind Walmart. Take him to the beach, give the breakup some quasi-romantic overtones.
Don’t let him talk you out of it. Libra likes to please, and will offer to compromise or give up something in order to keep you. His diplomatic flair and mediation skills can be used to dissuade from your original position. If a breakup is what you really want, stand firm.

I am of no help here. I am one of the least dimplomatic people. I dated a libra once.. he drove me nuts. He was very needy. Blech.
I didnt let him go very politely.. I was 16 and less diplomatic than I am now.
Libra woman here. I think this is great advice. Libras are sensitive and need balance aka fairness.

I, as a Libra would appreciate to be told in a considerate way. We regress or progress in different ways.
scorpio woman: I dated a libra male who couldnt make up thier mind. Since i was moving anyway I just simple left. I didnt give the new address, phone, etc. It has to be a clean break or they will 4ever rationalize/negoiate and you will be in limbo.
HAH… Yeah.
Derek..

I think I was truly in love with this Librian.
He was the most romantic, childish guy ever.. He stole my heart, and from that first day we got together, I could never take my mind off him.
Oh how I wish I would have opened up and expressed myself..
You see, I have Taurus sun, Cancer moon, mercury Aries, Venus Taurus, and Mars Aries. Rising leo. And included.. Mars in 8th house. Corresponding to Scorpio.
Derek had:
Libra sun
Libra moon
Mercury Libra
Venus Scorpio
Mars Cancer
Rising… LIBRA.
He was like a pure libra.
I was cold, and didn’t express myself. This hurt me so..
I am a totally secret romancer… I could make any man go stir crazy.
But then.. we broke up. We have gotten together a few times..
But the last straw happened. I was totally angry at him for deleting me off of facebook. I have severely strong emotions…
We broke up..
We’ve gotten together at the beginning of 2007. Still to this day my claws can’t release him. Maybe I’m insane..
I love you.. Derek.
About the part where it says that he will comprimise with you is so true. I suggested to my libra boyfriend that we should take a break and he wouldn’t listen and kept on trying to persuade me we shouldnt, but now i know why
I wish my ex had read this before sending me a short , quick, e-mail!

What a good post! thanks Jeffrey for the compilation.
Libra- woman here., but of course this applies to us too right? It would be very nice indeed, that *people* could read this before giving us Libras a kick in the ass , before breaking our hearts and stabbing us in the back.
Eat his favourite chocolate bar that he thinks you dont know he hides from you,LOL No seriously, this guy is easy to reason with, mostly a brerak up that wont hurt goes like this “You are a great guy, I like you lots and I’m glad I met you. I hope you find the right person, you deserve that. I hope we can still be friends. Please dont feel bad, I know you would have left me anyways. A guy like you is hard to pen in. Please be safe.” give him a kiss goodbye.
Unless hes a jerk, that was how to break up with a nice Libra guy
Heres how you do it to a jerk “You are the most hideous creature that ever oozed up on the surface of this planet, I cant believe I let you touch me….eeeew ”
But the first way is definitley kinder
Well i am a libra, And im dating a libra!! Let me first of all state that he is a good guy, and we are both ruing this relationship. It is not just him. But i am getting tired of tring to think of ways to make him more hapy or how to let him know what needs to change in a not direct way. You see, i need to get out more. I get tired of doing the same thing everyday. So i suggest the park or a movie… something. but everytime he wants to go out its always to his buddy’s house to drink and hang with ppl i just dont get along with. He doesnt understand why i dont just hangout with his friends and try to “fit in” but im not the type of person to put my self in situations that i know are going to be awkward! We have an amazing sex life, but im starting to think that may be all we have. I just really dont know if i should let it drag on… weather or not things can get better i dont know. I do know that he is very handsom! lol that has a big effect on why i want to try soo hard to keep him. But i wonder if he is just as unhappy as i am? I would love to like go to dinner, or see a movie, or go to a consert, or a stroll in the park, but all he ever wants to do is sit at home, work, or chill with brad and his skanky wife! Get drunk and brag about how cool his freinds are later, but maybe im the problem in the relationship and not him… maybe its all me cause i wont just be more outgoing and try super hard to fit into an already exsisting group of close friends. Someone please help!!! i kinda wanna end it but then again what if i never find anyone as good as him… aka as cute and charming and hard working and funny…. ugh i just dont know what to do here!!

THey listen if theyre the good ones 
Sounds a bit selfish like my Libra ex husband though, maybe he’ll change if you tell him you have needs too….
if hes good enough to keep, tell him what you would like
LibraLady,
Thanks soo much for the advice. After reading i went and talked to him, and really just didnt hold back on how i felt at all! And he undersatands. So i have a feeling things are going to be MUCH better. In fact he called after i left and asked if i wanted to “go on a date” lol dinner and a movie. I feel like we can be real couple again.
LOL are you serious you cant hurt a libra guy!! They dont care if you break up with them because they have 2 or 3 other women as back ups!!Libra men are Selfish ,Greedy, Womanizing, a******s!! Its impossible to hurt someone who is so heartless!
I met this Libra guy on chat n we became gr8 frens… coz we both shared our stories and feelingsss and listened to each other… i think he’s frank n honest n i can trust him…and suddenly out of the bluee he tells me he loves me!! I didnt care muchh…. and justt told him not to joke with me….but then after few weeks of his disappearence he calls me once and shares dat his parents dont trust him and always accuse him of being irresponsiblee and tells me again dat he loves me…I suggeste him we should meet first and then decide… Thenn he keepsss onnnnnnnnn postponing the date….and finallyy we meet n he’s latee…and we have a quick cup of coffe together and talkk…later we talk on the phone.. he tells me i’m a lil shy then on chat and phone well duhh!! obviouslyy he’s a new guy to me!! huh and then we have phone conversations and i always have to call himmm and we talk for hours………. and if i dont call him for few days he just calls me for a short time to accuse me dat i forgot him n didnt call!!

I’m an aquarius/pisces cusp born on feb 19… and i want to be in a comitted relationshipppp
I was just dumped by a libra man who promised me the world and then suddenly stopped trying. We had both gone through divorces in our mid-twenties and he promised me security and practically begged me to be with him. He told me he would never leave me unless I asked him to. Well, let me just say that he was a very moody person, up and down and all over the place emotionally; never working towards feeling better but stuck on his emotions, letting them dictate him instead of he striving to be a happy individual. Whenever he hurt me (as he was often rude and disturbingly honest about his feelings), it always came back around to how hurting me made HIM feel. Unreal. And then when things got tough and he saw an out, he took it, and shut me out of his life forever. I started taking anti-anziety medication to get over the two and a half years I’d just lost and he ignored my messages and phone calls, after simply deciding it was for the best. Selfish, selfish sign.
Well, I am a Libra lady, but have also dated several Lib ra men. They are good lovers, but definately not loyal. Obviously, there are differences between different rising signs and such, but I always had to share them and hated it.
I, on the other hand, want monogomy so don’t go near them anymore.
One of them though, has always been there for me in the past, and was always the one to ring me…I didn’t have his number. He would go to great lengths to see me and I had known him since he was 8yoa, so more like a good friend. I finally cut all ties as he has chosen to have a family and needs to be responsible.
YEA…libras WILL give up something to stay with you, even though its all going down the drain,, my experience with libras,, if u wanna ‘work things out’ libras r the ones; i sort of even feel they will sacrafice themselves
