Article: Breaking off a relationship, especially a long-term one, is a big and difficult decision. After all, you don’t want to hurt the person you're with just because you're having a couple doubts. Moreover, Capricorns rarely give second chances, so be sure this is what you want. Ask yourself things like:  Will I feel better about things if we break up? How would I feel tomorrow if I woke up and had gone through with the breakup? How will I feel tomorrow if I haven’t gone through with it? Will I have any regrets if I do or don’t do this? Do I want to give this another shot? The conversation to break up with your significant other is going to be tough, but it will help if you plan what you want to say. Having a plan will also help stop you from saying anything you may regret later, especially if things get heated.  Try opening with something nice, like, “you're a really great person,” or “we’ve had a lot of great times together.” When you're ready to move on to discussing why you want to break up, talk about why you feel you aren't a good match. Capricorns like order and stability, so maybe you feel like you need more spontaneity in your life. Similarly, Capricorns appreciate hard work and responsibility, and maybe those aren't things that are important to you. Whatever your differences, have a list of issues ready that you want to bring up. When you’ve been dating someone for longer than a month, it’s basic and common courtesy to break up in person, or at least over the phone. Don’t send an email, text message, or use social media to break the news.   One reason this is important is because it shows the other person that you care and have respect for his or her feelings. It also gives you a chance to explain yourself, and gives the other person an opportunity to ask questions. You’ve already run through in your head all the reasons you want to break up, and now it’s time to communicate those reasons. Try to stick with the facts. Depending on your reasons for wanting to break up, you can say clear things like:  “We have different priorities,” or “we want different things in life” “We’re too dissimilar, and I don’t think those differences can be reconciled” “I want to focus on my career/studies right now” “I'm not ready to make this kind of commitment” While it’s important to be honest with the other person, this doesn’t mean you have to be mean or inconsiderate. Your partner is going to be hurt by your decision already, so you can try to make the process easier by being sensitive.  Keep in mind that Capricorns tend to be shy and are afraid of rejection, so he or she may react very strongly to your desire to break up. Being sympathetic and understanding may make the break up a little easier on you both. Instead of pointing out perceived flaws with the other person’s personality or behavior, keep the discussion focused on why the relationship isn't working for you. For instance, rather than saying “You’re too focused on work,” rephrase this as “I need a partner I can spend more time with”

Article: Don’t make a request if your parents are in a bad mood or are busy with something else. You want their full attention so that they hear you out and perhaps become convinced that what you want is a good idea. Wait until your parents appear relaxed and at ease to make your request. For example, don't make a request when your parents appear exhausted after a long day or more snappy than usual. Notice how you talk to your parents. Do you ask nicely for things or do you make demands? Get in the habit of asking and not telling or demanding. If you tend to demand things, your parents will likely say no. if you ask, they will feel like they have a choice and may be more likely to say yes. For example, instead of saying, “I want to go to that party” or, “Give me that popsicle,” say, “Can I please go to the party?” and, “Can I please have that popsicle?” Maybe your parents said no to something but you’re willing to put in some effort to change their no to a yes. Negotiate with your parents and find a way to sweeten the deal for them. For example, if you want an item, ask them for it as an early birthday present. Or, offer to do some extra chores for a month as an exchange for something you want to do with friends. When negotiating, make sure your parents know what you’re willing to give up or do extra. You want the deal to appeal to them. You should always treat your parents with respect, and it’s especially important to do so if you’re making a request. Say what you want with a smile and be kind and well-mannered. Say your words nicely and treat your parents kindly. For example, say, “Please” and “Thank you.” It may be unrealistic to make huge requests of your parents. For example, if you want them to buy you a phone or a car or a guitar, they may not be able to make these kinds of purchases. If your goal is to get your parents to say yes, make smaller requests. For example, ask your parents to let you go to a friend’s house when they know your friend’s parents. To make smaller requests,  ask your parents for ice cream at the grocery store or to pick up your favorite cereal.
