How to Break Up Gently Yet Firmly
- Don't let your relationship die out on it's own. Break up as soon as you decide that for you it's over.
- Keep it simple. Don't go into long drawn out explanations. Chances are they won't hear them anyway, they will be too stunned about breaking up.
- Keep it shot. Get right to the point
- Always breakup in person. There's nothing worst than someone breaking up on the phone, email, or texting.
- Don't leave the person with the hope of maybe you will come back. Make it a clean break.
- Try to answer why in short concise explanations.
- If it helps them you can blame yourself. However you breakup it is going to hurt both of you. Be compassionate.

- Love yourself
- Give it time
What Not To Do When Dumped

- Don't beg or act desperate. "What am I going to do without you?"
- Don't let your life stop. Keep yourself busy.
- Don't keep yourself surrounded by all of his things and memories. In other words, don't fall asleep staring at his picture and wearing his t-shirt.
