1.Prepare yourself.
If you’re 100% sure this is what you want, you need to make sure you’re prepared for the actual breakup. Maybe you don’t know how the other person will react and that scares you, or maybe you’re concerned about how your life will change after the breakup. Either way, it’s normal to have your fair share of worries, after all, you’re ending an old chapter of your life and starting a new one.

According to psychologist Loren Soeiro, Ph.D., ABPP, “In planning to break up with someone, you’ll go through a fair amount of distress yourself. Depending on how long you’ve anticipated the breakup, you’ll likely experience some form of anxiety or dread as you look ahead to taking unpleasant steps.”
While those steps might appear impossible at first, you’ll learn how to make things easier for both of you with a little preparation. Firstly, you need to think about what you’re going to say and how you’re going to do it. Since it’s a serious matter, it’s important to do it in a private place where you can have an open conversation.
Tears might also be involved so it won’t be such a good idea to do it at a restaurant, during dinner. Also, make sure you’re not doing it over the phone or through a test. And remember, no matter how hard it might be, you’re doing both a favor in the long-term.
