Ending a relationship does happen no matter how you try to work it out. It has never been easy to end a relationship without hurting each other's feelings. But things can get better if this is done calmly and with self-respect.

Follow this excellent advice on ending a relationship and you will both be much better off as a result.

Be Certain You Want to Put a Period on the Relationship. It is pretty normal for a relationship to experience happiness and hardships especially, for these two things can make or break the emotional union of two people. Be very certain that you really want to put a period on the relationship for you might end up regretting in the end.

First and foremost, do you really want to end the relationship even if it still can be saved? Before coming up with that big "split up" decision, analyze thoroughly whether you want to go your own way or give the relationship a second try.

Choose Neutral Territory for the Breakup. This may be the best advice on ending a relationship you receive. Don't do it in a place that holds special romantic meaning for the two of you. Also avoid choosing one home or the other or the home you share together to end things. It will create bad memories attached to the place rather than the deed - for both of you.

If you do the break up in a place you both love, it might worsen the hurt rather than help you get over with each other. So choose a place that has nothing to do with your romantic adventures; a public place is even preferred.

Do not be too confident that public places can pacify a hurting person's outburst. Before things comes to worse, brace yourself for some emotional reactions from your partner upon learning your breaking up decision. Try to bounce off the outburst in case your partner freaks out.

Be Tolerant but Tough. Avoid smashing your partner emotionally no matter how bad your experience is with him. You have cared for him before because there's something good in him so just take it easy. Be tolerant but tough. Avoid being carried away by his pleas of getting back together.
