Prepare yourself for when you are going to end the relationship. Large social gatherings may create embarrassing scenarios for a break-up. Consider meeting in a quiet public space to avoid confrontations. Be blunt and direct. When ending a relationship, it is best to be to the point about your intentions. Tell your partner how you feel in person, rather than calling or texting, to help you process what is happening and show you mean what you are saying. Make sure you stick to the facts so you aren't caught up in emotions and use "I" statements to avoid putting the other person on the defensive, such as, "I have been unhappy with our relationship lately, and it's time to end things between us." Deliver the message in a calm, direct voice so your significant other knows you are serious about the decision: "I am breaking up with you." If you are afraid of your significant other having a violent reaction to the relationship ending, you should not meet in person or alone. In this case a phone call would be the better option. Once you've ended the relationship, you will need to stay away from the person you left. Bad relationships are often mentally tough to leave; make it easier on yourself by ending contact with the person so you aren't tempted to get back together. Delete your ex on all social media accounts. Take your ex's phone number out of your phone. Go to different places for entertainment where you won't see your ex. Ask your friends not to talk about your ex to help you create distance.

Summary: Plan a time to talk with your partner. Tell your boyfriend or girlfriend that the relationship is over. Put distance between yourself and your new ex.

Change can be good. Perhaps the relationship was emotionally taxing and causing you more stress than reward. Recognize the freedom you now have, which brings about new opportunities. Feel the relief of not having to worry about the other person or be concerned with the drama they brought into your life. Spend time outside of work developing healthy relationships with friends, and others who could become romantic interests. Keep things "light and airy", which means: stay away from deep thoughts, discussions, troubles or complaints. Portray a sense of calm and optimism that can't be pulled down by the negativity or awkwardness of the situation. Focusing on the positive will guard against being pulled into negative discussions. No one can take your power away from you if you remain positive. Reacting to an agitating remark will give your power to the other person. You are in control and responsible for your feelings. It is an important job. Be accepting of yourself. If you are feeling guilty or remorseful about having a relationship with someone in the work place, at school or with your roommate, you will need to forgive yourself. It doesn't mean that you forgive and "forget" what you did, and then do it again. Forgive with the intent of learning from your mistakes and stopping any attempts to self-sabotage yourself in the future. Actors get paid to pretend. You may not be an actor, but there might be a time when you need to pretend that you are doing fine when you really aren't. It is a way of protecting yourself from further hurt. Get yourself through an awkward interaction in any way that you can. Discuss it later with a trusted friend or family member, which will allow you to process the feelings that were stirred up. Venting your feelings is a legitimate way of processing feelings and will probably make you feel better. Many people are not comfortable with silence. They feel compelled to put words into the air as if they will ease the tension in the situation. Develop a level of comfort with silence. When you don't know what to say in a situation, say nothing. Choose to be comfortable with silence, and you won't feel as awkward in situations that come up. Silence isn't being rude. Remember, a lot of people are uncomfortable with silence so they may say things or ask you things. Answer them in a manner that you see fit.

Summary: Make the most of the situation. Stay positive if you come in contact. Avoid being judgemental. Fake it 'til you make it. Use silence to your benefit.

Find someone you feel connected to and who you feel a strong connection with. It's difficult (though not impossible) to start a meaningful conversation with a stranger or acquaintance. It might feel more comfortable to start a meaningful conversation with someone you've known for a while or already have some closeness in your relationship. You might not want to start a meaningful conversation with someone who's often argumentative or focused on always being 'right'. Think about someone you can engage with and share both speaking and listening. A meaningful conversation will often occur within a context that makes it meaningful. While some meaningful conversations can happen spontaneously, others may require some planning. Especially if it's difficult to find time to meet up, choose a date and a time where both you and the other person can be present and fully engaged. For example, don't have the conversation when one or both of you have a time constraint. Avoid busy or stressful days so that each person feels comfortable and not preoccupied or stressed. When talking, you don't want to be interrupted by surrounding noise. You probably also don't want prying ears overhearing your conversation. Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed or interrupted. This might include somebody's home or a private meeting room. For example, a restaurant may not be ideal as you may be interrupted or overheard. Look for a place with minimal distractions. Consider turning off your phone or the television so that it doesn't interrupt your conversation. If your conversations are often scattered, disorganized, or tangential, you can pause to talk a moment to organize your thoughts. This helps keep the conversation on track, and can give you a confidence boost as well! If you know you're going to have a difficult conversation and want to prepare well in advance, you can also try writing down what you want to say to organize your thoughts! Put some effort into starting the conversation, especially if it's a difficult topic. Decide on how you will start the conversation and what words you will say. Whether you enjoy it or not, small talk can help to open a conversation and make people feel more comfortable. Starting a conversation with something deep might be jarring or unexpected, so warm up with some small talk first. When you and the other person appear comfortable, bring up a more substantial topic. For example, ask how the person's day is going or briefly talk about the weather.

Summary: Choose who you want to speak with. Choose an appropriate time to talk. Find a quiet place. Collect your thoughts before you speak. Start with small talk.
