How to break up? Is there really an easy way?

It's never easy to part from someone you care for.  However there comes a time when you have to do what's best for you.  Irregardless of how it might hurt the other person.  The longer you put it off the harder it will be.

Be honest with the person you are with now and finish it - then move on\n\nHonesty is THE best thing, even if it seems very difficult

There is no easy way and it will be hard.  Tears may be shed by both people.  \n\nI would recommend a neutral setting, like a park, and definitely do it in person.  Just explain your true feelings to this person.  You don't have to give so many details that it will hurt the person even more, but do give enough details that this person will understand that you don't think this current relationship is as strong as it should be & that you have a desire to date other people.  \n\nI would do it as soon as possible too.  It is not good to string someone along.

Well.....definately you have to do it in person, trust me....I'm not ashamed to say that I've been dumped through the phone, and trust me that hurts like a b**ch!\n\nWell, there isn't a way to break up with someone without hurting them, if they care about you of course they're going to get hurt, but they'll understand, if you give them good reasons for wanting to break up, and if you're dealing with an understanding person, I'm sure he or she will understand! Just try to talk to the person and be completely honest! Think of a way you would like someone to break up with you and try to follow it with the person you want to dump, you know what I mean? Well, anyway, just try to be sincere and try to be soft, you know? I hope that helped you! Good Luck!

Yea. We all do. We imagine how much easier it would SEEM to be if we broke it off b/c of minor things we don't like about the person. You need to weigh the pro's and con's of how you guys are TOGETHER. You're not always going to like everything about him. But imagine if you did break up with him over that stuff, you'd definately just want to go back to him and realize it was ridiculous.

You can't but if it isn't working out you have to. It would be worse to stay in an unhappy relationship. Eventually he or she will get over their hurt feelings and realize it was for the best also.

My god!  That's a hard question.  I've broken up with people i've really liked.  Quite a few people i've really liked.  It's not gonna be easy, but you will feel better for it.  What you need to do is think about why you want to and find a good reason to do it.  Then tell him/her, and ask what they think.

There is only one way to do that.. CLEAN! You need a completely clean break, no contact of any kind. If you are truly in love, but are going to end it (which, BTW, is the right thing to do if it is an extramarital affair), then you need to cease all communication and just try to move on.

You could always get the jump on her by breaking up with her. Or you could talk with her and ask her why, there might be a way to fix things (99 percent chance there isnt).

If there is no communication it will not last.  YOu only been with him for 8 months  I would move on.  That would be the easy way out but no one likes the easy way.  Most likely you will go on for few more month or until the point you say enough is enough.

There is no good way of breaking up, just tell him it's not working.

Sure, write the letter, but then rip it up.  It doesn't really matter why you broke up.  The point is, you're broken up now and you need to move on!

You can't... Especially if the decision to break up wasn't his... He has to get over "your" decision... Remember, you had this entire thing planned and worked out in your head for some time... all the while he probably didn't have much of a clue as what extreme life changing event was being planned and taking place...  the only real help for him now is time...

Well you can't control other people's feelings and to try to do something to break the relationship up is not being a friend to either of them. The only thing you can do is go on with your life and meet other people.

No I wouldn't just break up with someone because I couldn't spend enough time with them, I would break up with them because of the truth...usually people say one thing and mean another because they are afraid of hurting someone, I don't know why people think that the truth is gonna hurt more then finding out that they are lying but they do. and its stupid.

For anyone, not having to physically face hurting someone is always easier. Even though best common courtesy would be to break up with someone in person, many people seek other methods like a letter, voicemail or email.
