Of importance is to choose the time and location well. And there are a couple of benefits for this move. First, you are trying to avoid embarrassing your partner by breaking the news in public. Second, you need to be in a secure place just in case your partner turns violent upon receiving the news. The most recommended is a quiet public venue.
Remain Polite But Firm
As we all know, breaking up is not a small issue. Of course, the person being left behind will try to make things work. They can be resolute and persistent in an annoying way, but you have to remain polite and firm with your ‘No.’ Sooner or later, your partner will accept the decision that you have made. The good news is that the two of you can remain friends, especially if you still meet frequently at work, school or other social places.
Move On
The process of breaking up is painful for both parties. However, this does not mean that life should not move on. It is time to accept that it is over and move on. Although it is good to allocate some time to heal, do not get stuck on this forever. Move on with what makes you happy whether it is your career, education or another better relationship.
All the best!
