Breaking off is never easy. The problem is, how to say it in a nice way without hurting our partner so bad?

Breaking up with someone who cares about you and doesn't want the relationship to end is always hard. They will always feel hurt, and perhaps surprised, angry, and betrayed. You have to do what you feel in your heart is best for you, so just be honest. If you tell the truth and don't play games with your parnter's feelings, they will get over the hurt a lot easier. It's best to break up and avoid all contact for a while so that they don't hold on to false hope that all will work out.

What if our partner just can't get over it and keep bothering even if we have already tell the truth. Not only doing that, that ex keep doing things just so that we could get impress or start buying stuff that "that ex" know we'll like. It really gets on our nerve having ex like that. At anytime of the day that ex will go to your house and wanna hang around just like break up never happen. So what should be done? How to tell that everything is over without hurting them?

It is hard to end a relationship, and it is the nasty part of dating...they thing that makes me feel better about breaking off a relationship is find a song that make me feel about the situation in the relationship and play it on their answering machine....it is sort of a make you feel better moment..
