BREAKUPS AND VIRGO

WHY MIGHT YOU WANT TO BREAK UP WITH A VIRGO?

If you’re breaking up with a Virgo, it’s probably because you can’t stand any more of their nit-picking, their obsession with detail, or their paranoia about health and cleanliness. You may well be tired of them endlessly recounting their ailments, complaining about everything that’s wrong in the world, or always being wrapped up in their job. 

In breaking up with a Virgo you might also be looking forward to being released from constantly trying to live up to their high standards and then having to listen to their chastisements when you constantly fail. The main trouble with these genuinely well intentioned souls is that in trying to be helpful they’re incredibly picky, with an annoying compulsion to point out all those little improvements that would make you a better person but which you probably don’t want to hear.


HOW SHOULD YOU GO ABOUT BREAKING UP WITH A VIRGO?

Unlike some Star Signs who’d find it too painful to hear all the reasons why you’re breaking up with them, a typical Virgo wants to know every single little detail. Being in possession of the full facts makes this head-centered, emotionally robust Star Sign feel more comfortable and in control. So when breaking up with a Virgo, don’t be afraid of hurting them by revealing the ugly truth; you’ll hurt them much more by keeping them in the dark. 

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

Luckily, the fall-out from breaking up with a mild mannered Virgo tends to be fairly minor compared to more emotionally volatile Signs. Of course they’ll be just as unhappy and just as badly hurt. But due to their down to earth nature, Virgos accept that breakups happen, and when they do they need to be tackled in a pragmatic and rational way. 

Fundamentally humble and self-deprecating, a Virgo is more likely to respond to a breakup by analyzing where they personally went wrong than hurling abuse at you. However, that doesn’t mean that they won’t be fully focused on protecting their financial and material security and claiming everything you owe them, right down to the last cent, when you break up with them. 


REASONS FOR A VIRGO BREAKING UP WITH YOU

When a Virgo breaks up with you it’s fundamentally because you won’t or can’t live up to their lofty ideals. Perhaps you don’t have a sufficiently strong work ethic, perhaps you’re too disruptive of their carefully ordered routine, or perhaps they just can’t take any more of your sloth, your inertia and all your undesirable little habits.

Maybe, also, you haven’t been pulling your weight in the relationship by fulfilling your financial responsibilities and doing your fair share of the chores. Despite being workaholics and delighting in serving others, most Virgos are far too shrewd to allow a freeloading lover to take unfair advantage of them. There comes a point when even the most self-sacrificing of Virgos will say enough is enough and decide to break up with you.   

Virgos require consistent routines and a clean and tidy environment and without these their mental and physical wellbeing will suffer. If you’re too chaotic, dirty and disorderly, it may eventually result in a Virgo calling your relationship off. In fact it would probably be a big surprise if they ever got together with you in the first place!

HOW A VIRGO IS LIKELY TO BREAK UP WITH YOU

When a Virgo breaks up with you, they’ll do it quite cool-headedly and politely. As with everything else in their life, they’ll want to ensure the breakup is well thought out and well organized, and that all the little details have been properly taken care of, without emotions getting in the way. You can rely on a Virgo's efficiency and conscientiousness in making all the necessary breakup arrangements, especially regarding money. When a Virgo breaks up with you, they won’t cheat you and they certainly won’t allow you to cheat them. 


HOW TO WIN BACK A VIRGO

To win back a Virgo, you basically need to grovel a bit and eat humble pie. You have to agree whole-heartedly with their criticisms of you, you have to admit that you’re just not good enough, and you have to resolve to reform your unsavory ways. 

It’s a mistake to argue your way out of a breakup with a Virgo by trying to convince them they’re making a mistake in dumping you. The chances are you can’t match their razor sharp wits and clever way with words, and you’ll only end up with a tongue lashing for daring to question their good judgment.  

Also don’t bother trying to win back a Virgo by buying them an expensive present. Because Virgos hate unnecessary waste and extravagance, you’d do much better providing them with proof of your newfound thriftiness and practicality. 

Even telling them you love them might not have the desired effect of winning back a back if you go about it the wrong way. Flowery words mean little to the average Virgo compared to right actions.
