"I want to break up with him/her. But I don't know how."

Hard, isn't it? You want to end the relationship but you're scared he/she will get hurt. Well ... All break ups hurts, right?

1) The right way to ask for a break up when it's at the wrong time.

- It just happens that you've found the right person at a wrong time. Maybe they live far away and neither of you are willing to go to their place (eg: boon lay and pasir ris); maybe your school/studies or work doesn't leave you enough time for a relationship. If you're forced to break up but might want to try things further down the road, try to not to burn any bridges. Be honest to your partner - "I love you, but i think our relationship can't work out right now." Afterwhich, give them space to forget you. And when they're ready, they will still be friends with you (if they want it).

2) The right way to ask for break up with someone whom you'll meet everyday.

- If your boyfriend/girlfriend is someone at your school or work, do your best to keep the break up drama-free. It'll be painful for them to see you every day, so give them lots of space. You don't need to pretend you don't see them in the corridor, canteen, or anywhere, but don't crowd them or try to become friends with them. They need time away from you to heal. If they want to avoid you for the time being, try as best as you can to respect that.

3) The right way to ask for break up when you've found his/her replacement.

- If you wanted a break up because you've found someone else - someone who is ready to date you, too - then you need to be gentle without telling any lies. For example: "I like you a lot, but i don't feel like we're totally compatible." If they ask whether there's somebody else, just be honest. After the break up, be sensitive of their feelings and don't rub your new relationship in their face.

4) The right way to ask for a break up with someone who is abusive.

- Getting out of an abusive relationship can be difficult, because your boyfriend/girlfriend might try to hurt you or manipulate you into staying together. Use firm language, stay strong and end the conversation quickly. You don't owe them a living. If you're afraid of your safety, talk to your parents or friends, or, if you feel like there's no other option, the police.

5) The right way to ask for a break up with someone whom you lost interest with.

- The ones who get dumped usually has one question for you: Why? It will be tricky to answer them if there's no good reason for the breakup. Don't let this deter you from breaking it off. If you think it's time for the relationship to end, then it'd be unfair for both of you to stay together. Answer them in a vague but gentle way: "I just think it's time to for me move on;" "I don't feel like we're totally compatible as boyfriend and girlfriend;" "I can't give you what you're looking for in a relationship." Just make it clear to them that it's over.

Do use the ways we've given you readers if you don't have any ideas to end a relationship with someone. Don't break up without reasons because that's very rude. We're sure you readers don't like it if someone ask you for break up in a very rude way.
