#6 Last to know. Never, EVER go around telling everybody that you want to break up with your partner. Chances are, this story will find its way to your partner before you have the opportunity to break the news to them—making the breakup even more devastating and humiliating.
#7 Be crystal. Be clear that the breakup is absolutely over. Avoid any talk on that remote possibility that you may one day cross paths and find a way back together in the future, because this will just give them false hope.
#8 Shut it and seal it. Make sure there is closure. If you’re honest about yourself, that you don’t see a future with them, then tell them that it’s absolutely over and that they should move on with their lives—without you.
#9 Make it personal. There’s nothing worse than a person who can’t sum up the courage to break up with someone face to face. So even just for the sake of tact, break up with the person face to face and never via text, call, instant message, or social media.
