If someone has really disappointed you or just not turned out to be the partner you wanted, it’s tempting to just hand him his *ss when you end things. You may want to list everything that is wrong with his personality. You may want to point out every selfish thing he ever did. You may even want to say nothing at all and just ghost the guy. But, as hard as this may be to believe, it’s actually good to have a nice breakup. Sure, it doesn’t allow you to unleash your rage in the moment, but it will inevitably have you feeling a lot better later. And at the very least, nobody has ever regretted having a civil breakup. Being polite and respectful has never lead to anything bad. Meanwhile, really laying into your ex can certainly have negative effects. Here are the benefits of a peaceful breakup.

You could meet his friend one day

Towns are always smaller than they seem. There is a good chance that you’ll wind up dating someone this guy knows one day. When that day comes, and your new boo connects the dots on the fact that you used to date his friend, what do you want that friend to say about you? Do you want him to tell this new guy (who you really like) that you threw a drink in his face and wrote a mean blog post about him back in the day?
