hummmm. i tried to be nice and gentle for that break up. he tried to hit me with a 2 X 4 and stole my wedding dress! so.........i've gotta say, i should have just poisoned the bas*ard and left him puking in the gutter with dogs eating pretzels out of his pocket!!!!! p.s. he hasn't bothered with MY sons in 15 years. and we tried to involve him. sorry for the bitterness!

Be kind to the person choose how bored you are, say it is your fault, say you just feel that you need different things right now and you do't think this is what you are looking for. Apologise but don't get drawn into compromiseing. Deal with a breakup, go out - pull someone new for a meaningless liason, it'll remind you you're still very attractive and let your ex realise they were not the centre of your universe.

Good Way:Do some talking explaining circumstances that led to your break up Bad way:Humiliate each other in public and become enemies for life!

Building a house and demolishing it and when senses are good, building again, when becomes senseless, build again. Life is like that. Do it and undo.Why donot you resolve not to demolish, you can save lot of time and buying the peace.

Be honest and tell them that it's just not working out. The worst way is like some jerk did to me about 10 years ago. He just ignored me, wouldn't return my calls or emails, wouldn't answer his door, etc. Then sent me an email about 2 weeks later telling me that he wanted his ex-wife back. I got the last laugh because all she wanted was some money out of him. She shook him down for $20,000 and then went back to her boyfriend. hahahaha!

When you break up with them don't ask if it is ok to see other people right away!

Well, one of the worst ways I have heard of is my girlfriends dude left her a note on her dogs dish so she could read the break up note when she fed her dog in the morning.... My all time favorite is just never responding again. HIDE AND DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE... RUN!

Good way to break up with someone, is get straight to the point, also helps the other person to just face reality and deal with it. Dealing with breakups is more difficult, you have to realise its over and that its time to move on.
