How to break up nicely

Tell them in person Plan ahead: think about what you want to say, so you can explain it clearly and fairly Choose somewhere private to talk, not where you're surrounded by friends Be respectful and avoid saying hurtful things (cos you can't un say them) DON'T tell them via social media or via someone else. No one wants to hear it second-hand. Put yourself in their shoes (ok these are flipflops, but you get the point)
