How can you properly announce a breakup?
Cupid’s Advice:
The end of a relationship can be tough not only on you and your ex but on your loved ones as well. After all, they too have grown close to your former partner during your time together. Here are three ways to gracefully share the news of your breakup:
1. Inform family and close friends first: In this case, Money has a young daughter, who spent a lot of time with Sattler. The closest people to you should always hear the news first because it will affect them the most. It’s better for those who had some emotional stake in the relationship to be able to process it before everyone else hears about it.

2. Don’t share too many details: Relationships are very personal, and that means breakups are too. If and when you announce your split on social media or in some other public way, don’t disclose any intimate details that you’ll regret having shared later on.
