do you choose to end a relationship in person or over the phone?

Hi there! I prefer to choose to end someting in person rather over the phone. It is more professional to end not just a relationship but other things when you personally talk to the person you wants to end someting with. Because you can feel the emotions of each other. And who know, theres still a chance to fix that something so it is really important to have a one-one conversation.

Though it hurts so bad, it is still more humane to deal with the break-up face to face. After all, LOVE started on a personal level. What could have been worse than hearing the voice of someone who was once a part of your life ending the relationship (or worst- reading a break-up text message!)? I mean, it is easy to still respect a person if that person was man enough (or to take courage) to end the relationship face-to-face.It is not an easy task, and could probably be a horrible experience for both parties. But it is the only respectful way to deal with the break up.

I guess it's easier to do it over the phone. You avoid embarrassment. However, I still think it's more respectful to do it face to face. Due to advances in technology, some people are even doing over internet. Though it hasn't happened to me before, I think that it's not very nice.

i'd rather have it in person..for me its the most honest way of doing it..even if it will cause you pain and so much heartbreak...ive experienced even crying in front of him..and i dont mind..coz thats how i feel...

Well I would much rather the other party have enough respect for me to be able to come to me, talk to me face to face and tell me that they don't want to be in a relationship with me anymore. I think it means more when the person can face you. If they can't do it face to face, there is apparently a reason that they can't face you. Now if their life is at risk because you are violent or something that is a different story, but under normal circumstances I believe I would much rather someone tell me in person.

I've only manage to have a serious committment once in my life, actually I'm a late bloomer, had my first relationship when I was 20 cause my father is damn strict, and unfortunately he's the one who ended up the relationship, I guess he's already fed up with me, can't blame him, I'm a pain in the butt (lol). He tried to break our relationship thrice, I was able to save the first two break-ups, yeah I love him so much I can't bear see him leaving me (or so I thought). He did it face-to-face, we had a talk, however the third one was on the phone, he texted me actually, and then I tried to call him I said I wanted to talk to him about it, for me it just too painful when you're going to cause a pain to somebody else and you're not there to really tell that person face-to-face. But in general on the phone or not, its just the same thing, a relationship got to end when it is not meant to be, why force something that isn't going to last...I'm just happy now and thankful that he ended it, 1 year and 7 months is just too long to keep enduring each other, I didn't know how we did it, I mean how we survive, cause we are not really for each other.

Hi there michael_nonan! There was only one instance where I had to end a relationship over the phone. It was because he was abroad that time and there was no way I would be waiting for him to come home just for that purpose. Well, I still had to talk to him in person though three years after breaking up and that was when he came home to spend Christmas here in the Philippines. It ended up just well...

It's better to tell it in person. There would be no loose ends, would be a clean break to. At least if we could hold our emotion in check. Phone is a bit too impersonal, I think? I did the breaking once via sms, he didn't get it. It had to be face to face.

No, i never choose to end a relationship in person or over the phone .. i hete such people who ends like that
