- break up to be alone, not to replace your partner
- do your best to facilitate a peaceful breakup. the goal should be to leave the person with less trauma and more closure.
- don't go to their house post breakup. the last thing you need is breakup sex.
- if someone dumps you, ask some questions, then facilitate the next part.
- if you breakup with someone, cite a clear reason. it should be due to an issue between the two of you that's unhealthy or incompatible. just saying, 'you know, i can't put my finger on it, but i'm just not happy' will mess them up in ways you can't see.
- once the breakup is finalized, return all the other person's items, either with a drop off or a supervised exchange.
- speaking of which, don't have sex with a partner after you've broken up. it doesn't matter if they say they need your body one last time before they can let you go, the sex will be awkward and unsatisfying (speaking from personal experience).
- treat the ending of a relationship with as much care and compassion as the beginning. especially if this is someone you care about, don't leave them in tatters because you want to move on.
- when it comes to relationships, remember that the relationship was broken, not you.
- you'll find love again.
