You may have found yourself in the position of having to end a relationship. Chances are you found it to be a difficult situation, especially if the relationship had been an extended one.
Most relationships don't come to an unexpected end, but many still do, and that's not going to end anytime soon. People change in their outlooks and opinions as they grow older, and our new attitudes are not always compatible with our old relationships.
If you find yourself in a relationship that simply isn't working, it's best to end it quickly rather than wait to see if things change. No one wants to be in a relationship if their partner is unhappy, and you're wasting both your time and your partner's time by drawing out a relationship that isn't working.
The least you can do for your partner is let them know soon that the relationship isn't working so that they can start moving past the relationship sooner. The end of a relationship is always hard on everyone, but the sooner it ends, the sooner your partner can start the recovery process.
By spending time in an unhappy relationship, you're wasting your own time, as well. You could be enjoying the single life or you could be spending time with someone who's a better match for you.
If you do find yourself in the unenviable position of having to end a relationship, here's my advice for you. Don't have this important discussion via text message, email, or phone. If you've been dating less than two months, it may be acceptable, but not if the relationship has lasted longer than that.
If you do have to break up with someone, it's much better to do it in person, in a public place. A breakup can be an awkward time for both of you and being in public reduces the chances that the situation will turn ugly. It also provides a convenient point where you can go your separate ways; you don't have this luxury if you conduct the breakup at your home, when you will be faced with asking your partner to leave at some point.
Breaking up is always going to be an unpleasant experience, no matter the circumstances. Still, sometimes it just needs to be done. Be confident that your decision is for the better and that you'll both overcome this difficult time.
