How to Break Up Peacefully

If you're ready to end a relationship, consider how you can break up without conflict.


Step1
Acknowledge that the relationship is really over. Come to terms with your own feelings and make a firm decision to end the relationship.
Step2
Don't delay the inevitable. Once you decide to break up with your partner, immediately think about how, when and where you will take action.
Step3
Make sure you're the one who personally delivers the news. Don't give a third party the opportunity to tell your partner that you want to break up before you have the chance to discuss the matter alone.
Step4
Select a private place to meet with your partner to end the relationship.
Step5
Find or schedule an appropriate time. Approach the topic when both of you are calm and rational. Don't announce your intention to break up during a heated argument or a moment of anger.
Step6
Show your resolve by being firm, decisive and honest. Help your partner understand why you want to end the relationship. Be tactful, not brutal.
Step7
Remind your partner that you'll never forget the positive qualities in your relationship, but emphasize that you're ready to move on with your life.
Step8
Give your partner the closure that he or she needs to accept the breakup; answer questions and talk it over instead of leaving loose ends.
Step9
Stay positive as you both make plans to go your separate ways.
