Cupid’s Advice:

Ending a relationship is never fun, but sometimes it is the only way to move forward with your own life. If you are looking for some ways to break the news to your soon-to-be ex partner, Cupid has some advice for you:

1. In person: The most respectful way to end a relationship with someone else is to have a conversation in person. Whether it is a newly formed relationship that you don’t see working long term, or a relationship that has lasted years, the other person still deserves to be present for the conversation. This will allow the two of you to discuss the break-up without too much getting lost in the translation of technology.

2. Video chat: If distance is a factor in the relationship, or you truly cannot bring yourself to meet with your soon-to-be ex in person, video chats are a good alternative. This will allow you to break to news while still being able to see their face and register their emotions. While this option isn’t as good as physically meeting up with someone, it is more respectful than a phone call or text.

3. Over the phone: As a last resort, break-ups can be done over the phone. If this is the route you chose to take when ending things with your partner, be sure to pick a time that allows for both of you to have a full conversation rather than calling while one of you is at work. While phone calls are far from the best option in terms of ending a relationship, they are still more respectful than sending a text or not telling your partner at all.
