How can we end a relationship if we can't do it face to face?

Answer by  Andersen (628)

There is nothing special about ending a relationship face-to-face and it is an especially stupid idea if it will delay a breakup. There are many reasonable alternatives: video chat, telephone, email, even old-fashioned paper mail.

Face to face is the best way to end a relationship. If you really can't do it, a voice message, email or even a personal letter should do the job. Another way is to avoid the person by not answering his/her calls and planning activities with your friends. The person will get the hint.

It is better to end a relationship by writing or email. You can explain yourself more clearly and you have legal proof, if necessary.

What about others types of communication such as email, voice mail, text message, facebook, or twitter? Any of those should work if you truly want to end the relationship.

If it was a significant relationship, a telephone conversation is probably the closest thing if you can't manage face to face. Find a quiet time and place where you will not be interrupted and where you can extend the call as long as needed if you need to talk at length.
