Getting dumped sucks, no matter how it's
done. But if you're about to dump someone, there are ways to do it that'll
soften the blow. Here's how to break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend in
the least painful way possible.
Tips for Every Breakup
Always break
up with someone as soon as you decide that it's time to move on. Don't let your
relationship die out on its own. The longer you stall, the more painful the
breakup will be for both of you.
Always break
up in person. It's plain rude to break up with someone over the phone (or
worse, with a text).
Never
backtrack. If you know for sure that it's time to break up, don't leave the
conversation in any other way than completely broken up.
Realize that
however you break up, it's going to hurt. Be sensitive and compassionate, but
don't beat yourself up it. You did the right thing.
