I once was dumped a few months into a relationship that started with strong, mutual feelings that came from an initial friendship and lots of laughter and fun times together. Don’t use a line - speak the truth in your own words And so, too, when you want to break up with your significant other, the best way is to address it directly. When doctors conclude a serious diagnosis for a patient, the best ones will inform the patient directly of their situation. When your boss calls you into the office, and you’re fairly certain (or at least skeptically nervous) that it could be bad news about your job, good bosses will shift the conversation decisively and directly to that main topic and directly state the news or decision. Don’t circle around waiting for ideal conditions - get that bird on the ground! You need to approach the runway directly and land the plane, so to speak. From there, it’s best not to dance around the subject or attempt a long and rambling ramp-up. Conversations should pretty much always start with a greeting (“Hi, Dan.”), a check-in (“How’s your day?”), and a reciprocation (“I’m ok, but I’d like to talk to you.”).
Tough news is best delivered without a great deal of sugar-coating.
Communicate directly and be straight-forward I have been the recipient of several break-ups, though, and I can tell you a bit about what makes it worse and how you could do it better. Well, I don’t have a script for you, and I actually have never broken off a serious relationship. The seldom-referenced but potently funny fake boy band, 2gether, once sang, “The hardest part of breaking up / is getting back your stuff.” While they may indeed be on to something, the actual hardest part of breaking up is figuring out when and how to do it.
