Article: Prepare yourself for when you are going to end the relationship.  Large social gatherings may create embarrassing scenarios for a break-up. Consider meeting in a quiet public space to avoid confrontations. Be blunt and direct. When ending a relationship, it is best to be to the point about your intentions. Tell your partner how you feel in person, rather than calling or texting, to help you process what is happening and show you mean what you are saying.  Make sure you stick to the facts so you aren’t caught up in emotions and use “I” statements to avoid putting the other person on the defensive, such as, "I have been unhappy with our relationship lately, and it's time to end things between us."  Deliver the message in a calm, direct voice so your significant other knows you are serious about the decision: "I am breaking up with you." If you are afraid of your significant other having a violent reaction to the relationship ending, you should not meet in person or alone. In this case a phone call would be the better option. Once you’ve ended the relationship, you will need to stay away from the person you left. Bad relationships are often mentally tough to leave; make it easier on yourself by ending contact with the person so you aren’t tempted to get back together.  Delete your ex on all social media accounts. Take your ex’s phone number out of your phone. Go to different places for entertainment where you won’t see your ex. Ask your friends not to talk about your ex to help you create distance.

What is a summary?
Plan a time to talk with your partner. Tell your boyfriend or girlfriend that the relationship is over. Put distance between yourself and your new ex.
