break-up the nice way: seven tips

I've been broken up with in many ways and it's been awful every time. I'm sure that's how it is for most of us since there's no great, easy way to do it. But there are things you can do to make it respectful and a little easier to cope with.

Show respect for the other person and yourself and break-up face to face. Don't be fearful of doing the break-up while looking that person in the eye.

Don't break up in a public place. There's nothing worse than having total strangers watch you fall apart. Pick a mutually comfortable spot with very few other people around.

A long meal could be too much to endure with anger and tears overcoming the person, so keep the meeting short. Better off for every one is a quick break-up date.

Don't say the following: "It's not you, it's me" and "I love you, but I'm not in love with you." Avoid the clich.

White lies are OK so recognize when it's proper to save that other person's feelings. Now is not the time to pick him or her apart with all the little things that drive you crazy (like movie preferences and eating habits). Stick to the real reason the relationship is ending.

Don't compare the other person to cars, food, ex's, vacations, and so on. Avoid analogies and just say "I don't see this going anywhere" or "I think we'd both be happier with someone else."

Call once, but not more, and then you can be done. It's best to check in once to say hello, and you're sorry, but that going your separate ways really is best. You might give the other person hope for reconciliation when there is none by dragging out a break-up.
