who should do the breaking up, the guy or the girl?

Both have the right to do it, either the guy or the girl... One should always take it into consideration that respect and honesty are two things needed to make relationships work... If one is not happy, then he/she should voice out to make the partner aware, if you can't patch it, then one should decide to just end it up... no hurt feelings... that would better than to live a miserable life...

Breaking up is always sad and a difficult part. It all depends on who wants to break up. In todays world there are so many options and people have different priorities in life. So it would basically depend on who thinks that things are not working and if the couple is not compatible.It could be either the boy or a girl. It does not make a difference as one of them would suffer and go through the pain of breaking up. I do not personally believe in the women breaking up. If the guy feels that the relationsip is not working,then he too can break up. Difficult to know whats in the other persons mind. We do get close to a person but we cannot read the mind of the people to know. Its just sad when two people so much in love break up.

There is always no clear cut answer as to whom should do the breaking up. Now is the modern world so anybody can initiate the break up. If the girl is the one who is feeling there is no longer any chemistry between herself and her boyfriend, then she should do the breaking. But if it is the guy who felt that way, then it is up to the guy to do it. In a love relationship there is still no obligatory as who is responsible on what. Unless they are already married and according to my religion when a couple wants a divorce, the divorce will only be legal when the husband says it and not the wife.

it doesnt really matter who breaks up first or not. if you feel like you ar eno longer happy with the relationship and you feel like there's no chance of fixing the problem then go ahead and tell your partner.

I've only been in one relationship so I never experienced break-ups. But I do believe that a person has the right to break-up to their current girlfriend or boyfriend if they (the girlfriend/boyfriend) did the wrong doing. Or if both of them mutually decided to separate their ways, then go ahead. But do not be blaming each other or "compete" on who broke up with whom.

I think it will depend on who is fedup with the relationship or maybe some personal reasons.But in most cases the ladies are the ones who breakup the relationship simply because lot of us guy are cheating on our ladies, and i think there is no lady who can stand being cheated on, and the results? she moves on

I think it can;t be gender wise. first of all breaking up needs lots of consideration. when you are truly not able to continue. its the part from the person who is just not bearing it anymore

Both partners have the right to end the relationship. If one feels he or she have enough of it then they both can do it either way.

I guess it has nothing to do with gender. Whoever wants to break up would have to do what he needs to do and not wait for the other to spill the beans. I guess its their own choice if they really want to break up or not and its not because he or she is a man or a woman. We all have the right to do what is necessary and it should not be spelled by our gender.

There is no set rule on who is the one to end the relationship.If you are in a relationship,no matter male or female and you feel the relationship is not working out and that you don't want to be with the person your with,then end it. happy mylotting

there's no general rule for that.. It is a must that u should have an end on it...

i think women should be the one to break up with her boyfriend. i think it's a sign of respect for girls. i remember that song entitled, "let me be the one" sang by a filipino male singer. it has the line, "let me be the one to break it up so you won't have to make excuses." well, that is one problem with women. we are sometimes hesitant to break the relationship. actually, i've experienced my boyfriend breaking up with me. we were already having alot of issues but i still wanted to fix things. well, we can't control men from initiating the break up. maybe they have reasons. i just hope it is not because he has found somebody new cause that would really hurt the girl.

It depends if who wants to end up their relationship..Gender is not an issue, as long as they talk with each other and had a formal break-up then it's better, rather than one of them is in doubt if their relationship is still intact or not. Honesty is the best policy, if you feel you dont love your partner anymore then say it.

i think it depends on who wants to end tghe relationship. ther is no right or wrong wen it comes to these situations

Each relationship is different and I think you'll find that it does not matter who actually did the breaking up. The one who does the breaking up is usually simply the one to realize the relationship is over and hopeless. There is not rule that says that it should be the guy or the girl. If the guy is dominant...he shouldn't be and hopefully in such a case the girl is smart enough to run.

There's no rule on who should be the one to broke up. It's upto what the person feels. If the guy is the first one who fall out of love then he should be the one to break up with the girl. Same goes with the other party. For me a formal break-up is a must. Atleast there's a final closing to your relationship.

Hi there fellow mylot-er. I believe that it depends from case to case and in some situations the guy should do it in others the girl and in the best case they should both do it as a common agreement.

It really shouldn't matter who does the break up and I truelly don't think that there is a rule in who should be breaking up with whom. On your answer on who should be doing the break up the answer is if that one person is not happy in the relationship, then they should break up with that person and vice versa.

I have to say that it would really depend on the situation. For me if my husband ever cheated on me or something like that then I would be the one doing the breaking up. It doesnt always have to be just one person out of the relationship to do the breaking up. Sometimes a couple ends up having a mutual break up. Then they are both deciding to do it. To me that would mean that neither person was happy or was experiencing some kind of problem in the relationship but did not speak and sit down and talk out any problems with the other person. I believe in at least trying to talk things out and that kind of thing.

I think that whoever wants the relationship to end should be the one who does the breaking-up. There is no written or unwritten rule about it.
