Chapter 4: Choosing the right time — definitely not valentine’s day/his or her birthday
Synopsis
Choosing the right time to raise an issue on a breakup with your partner is an ideal move to let the relationship end smoothly.
Choosing the right time meaning does not include breaking up on Valentine’s Day, his/her birthday, holiday seasons, etc.
Occasions such as when your partner is having an upcoming exam, interviews, at work, etc. are also not the right time to initiate a break up..
Choose the Right Time: Why Avoid Special Occasions and Holidays
It will be hard for your partner to recover. If you put yourself in your partner’s shoes, consider how you would feel when you experience the same heartbreak every year just because your partner breaks up with you on your birthday or Valentine’s Day.
It will bring back the bad memories.
All that is left is emptiness and loneliness. If your partner loves you more than, he/she will feel a sense of belonging and connection to you. If you choose to leave him/her on holiday seasons like Christmas, you left him/her feeling alone every holiday, especially because after breaking up you will no longer be with him/her anymore.
It affects your partner’s emotions during his/her life-changing moments. These big moments could be your partner’s interview, work promotions, upcoming exam, a death or sickness in his/her family, etc. Do not be mean; bear with your partner for a longer period until these moments are over.
Care for him/her at least for this duration one last time.
You may get a negative response from your request about the break up. Either you choose to breakup before or during these occasions or you wait for a suitable time to do so, and even then your partner may object to your request, or act aggressively, yell, cry loudly or more. This may contribute to you feeling guilty and choosing not to leave.
Chapter 5: Keep it short & simple - never argue/prolong discussion
Synopsis
Since you had made a decision to breakup with your partner, mean it. Be sure that your relationship will end forever. Yon must keep it short and simple when you want to breakup with your partner to avoid causing greater pain or giving hints that both of you will come back together.
Keep It Short
Be prepared. Prepare earlier, what to say when you ask for a breakup. Prepare yourself emotionally. Your partner may question you, as to why you want a breakup, so be prepared with answers, before you raise the issue. This will help you to make a smoother breakup.
Be confident when you speak out. Try not to stammer or seem submissive to your partner. Showing confidence with the way you speak and your body languages will give hints to your partner that you insist with the decision and you want him/her to get your message.
Do not explain too much and engage in a prolong discussion. Speak straight of what is in your mind. You do not need to tell the whole story about how you come to this decision. Make sure your message is well understood and that you did not mean to hurt your partner deeply. Focus on why it is not working for you instead of blaming your partner for his/her wrongs.
Avoid intimate physical contact. This breakup is to end the relationship, so stop yourself from touching your partner again, including holding hands. Intimate physical body contact may give your partner comforts, which makes it harder for him/her to let you go.
Respect your partner. It is pointless to argue or fight at this stage as this will hurt the feelings of both parties, or even cause greater pain for your partner. Be understanding, no matter how your partner reacts. Be calm and control your emotions.

Stick With It
Plan your breakup. As always, prepare and plan it properly. Consider the time needed for the breakup.

You may even get relationship experts or counsellors to help you stick with your decision.
Keep focus. You will feel the pain, grieve, sadness of breaking up, and you should not hide the negative feelings. These feelings make you doubt your decision sometimes. Therefore, you must understand that you had made the decision to break up, and that you should move on with life and let those feelings fade away.
