BREAKUPS AND LIBRA

WHY MIGHT YOU WANT TO BREAK UP WITH A LIBRA?

The most common reason for wanting to break up with a Libra is that their incessant demands for your companionship have become so burdensome and suffocating , you no longer have time for any of the other things or people that are important to you. Because Libras hate to be alone, they frequently become overly dependent on the support of their partner, even to the point of reluctance to doing anything by themselves.  

Strangely, another key reason for wanting to break up with a Libra can be that they’re ‘too nice’! If your Libra partner never shares their true thoughts and feelings with you because they’re so fearful of displeasing you, you may come to feel your relationship with them is so lacking in substance and honesty, it no longer has any meaning for you.


HOW SHOULD YOU GO ABOUT BREAKING UP WITH A LIBRA?

You’ll need to work hard at ensuring a Libra gets the message you want to break up with them. Because they value themselves so highly as lovers and partners, it’s difficult for them to believe that anyone might consider dumping them. So it may take them a while to get over the surprise and accept that it’s over.

Try to break up with a Libra just as kindly as they would do if they were breaking up with you. So no hurtful home truths or recriminations – they just can’t handle them! Instead, help them to gradually become less reliant on your company by being increasingly out or unavailable until the point arrives when you’re no longer there for them at all.  

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT IF YOU BREAK UP WITH A LIBRA?

Because a Libra’s bargaining skills are legendary, when you break up with them you should expect them to pull out all the stops to negotiate a reconciliation deal with you. They’ll come up with a whole list of convincing reasons why you’ll be better off with them than without them in your life and they’ll promise you the earth if you’re willing to take them back.  

At the very least they’ll want to keep you as a close friend. Because harmony is so important to them, when you're breaking up with a Libra, they'll probably make more effort to stay on good terms with you than any other former lover.


REASONS FOR A LIBRA BREAKING UP WITH YOU

The key reason for a Libra breaking up with you is likely to be your lack of romantic commitment because this is by far the biggest dealbreaker for this Sign. Libras aren’t interested in part-time lovers: what they want is a full-on relationship with someone who’s willing to put them first in their life. 

If you fail to offer a Libra sufficient companionship and quality time, your love affair won’t last for long. Careerists who devote long hours to their job with little time left over to spend with their partner run the greatest risk of a Libra breaking up with them. Ditto uber gregarious types who spend too long socializing with their many friends and acquaintances, while leaving their Libra all alone.

If the balance of power in your relationship with a Libra is tipped too far in your favor, this can be another cause of them breaking up with you. Born under the Sign of the Scales, Libras have to be on a totally equal footing with their partner. So if you're pushing them around, treating them unfairly and pulling all the strings in the relationship, it will soon be over for them.

HOW A LIBRA IS LIKELY TO BREAK UP WITH YOU

Of all the Star Signs, Libras are probably the least likely to initiate a breakup. They hate confrontations and ending relationships of all kinds tends to be quite hard for them. However irritating they may find you, Libras are good at sweeping contentious issues under the rug and hiding their discontent behind a sweet smile. 

They’re also big procrastinators, and making their mind up to break up with you can take them a very long time. During this time you can expect your relationship to be on and then off on a regular basis, and because throughout it all a Libra will continue to be just as polite and charming as ever towards you, you’ll find it hard to know exactly where you stand with them.

When they do finally decide to break up with you, a Libra will try their very best to minimize the degree of upset for you. No matter how bad your behavior may have been, rather than point a finger at you, they’d rather accept personal blame for the breakup. ‘It’s me, not you’ is a classic Libra breakup line.


HOW TO WIN BACK A LIBRA

If your relationship with a Libra has ended, how easy will it be to rebuild it again? Here the good news is that of all the Star Signs, Libra is the Sign most open to persuasion and most willing to make the peace. 

To win back a Libra, all that’s needed is a little bit of give and take and the willingness to come to a mutual understanding. Libras are always happy to work out an acceptable compromise. But be warned, you’ll need to be ready to make some major concessions and make sure the relationship is on an equal footing again. 

You’ll never win back a Libra by arguing with them and trying to prove that you’re right and they’re wrong. For one thing, they’re instantly turned off by aggression and inflexibility. For another, their dazzling charm conceals a razor-sharp intellect that’s virtually impossible to beat.
