How to ensure that you avoid bad break up

Tell your partner first

Before telling the whole world about how you want to end the relationship, make sure it is only your partner who finds out first. It is not respectful towards the partner if everyone knows that your relationship is going to end except him or her.

The right space

Another important aspect about ending a relationship with grace is where you choose to break the news to your partner. Try not to do this is in a public place like a restaurant as there might be too many people around and it might inhibit you from saying everything you want. Instead, choose a place where both of you can feel comfortable.

Do it personally

The worst thing you can do while breaking up with someone is to end your relationship over the phone or via e-mail. Whether or not your relationship was good or bad, your partner deserves to know this in person. you must make time to meet your partner and then do it face to face.

Be simple

There's no need to put him or her through the history of your decision to break-up. They do deserve an explanation, but save your partner (and yourself) the long-winded reasons of exactly why and how things went sour.

The consequences

When you end a relationship, you have to face the consequnces. so before you break-up, be sure you have completely thought it out and don't do it on an impulse. Think of all possible consequences both good and bad and then make a move.

Ending a relationship is never easy, but it doesn't have to be hell
