How do you break off a long term relationship?

In: Breakups [Edit categories]

Answer:

You just be straight forward, up front, honest, empathetic and polite. Keep it simple - they will try to fix things and possibly cry but its best be nice but firm as to make them understand it is over and its time for you both to move on in different directions - If things are getting out of hand for any reason then tell them you are going to leave to let things cool down. If things seem somewhat calm and mature then just part ways at this point.
