Cupid’s Advice: 

A very public break-up can make everything even more stressful and painful. Cupid is here for how to avoid your breakup becoming public:

1. An understanding: The decision to end the relationship needs to be a decision that both partners agree to. It cannot be a surprise because it will leave the opportunity for the public to learn first.

2. United front: Both you and your ex-partner need to be united on the break-up so that there is no confusion when it does become public knowledge.

3. Keep it private: Until the break-up is over and both people have moved on, try to keep it between the two of you. Even if it was not an amicable end, try to remember it will only become worse with the public’s opinion.
