We have discussed the wrong ways to end a relationship, now we are going to discuss the recommended or less hurtful ways to end relationships. When you started going out with each other, it was a good feeling. If you can make the breaking up process feel the same way, you are good. Here is the best way to end a relationship so that both of you can be on good terms (if possible).
One on One Conversation: Unlike telling someone its over through text messages, sitting down face to face is the better option. Sitting down and telling that person face to face that you don't think things would work out is a lot better. They get to ask any unanswered questions they might have and better there chances on ending on a good note.
During this conversation, you can also ask to remain friends. Sometimes this isn't a good idea but if you can remain friends, that would leave you and your partner on good terms.
This is the best way to end a relationship. There is nothing better than face to face unless there are different circumstances like an abusive partner, restraining orders, etc. Lay all the cards on the table and be calm and honest. Don't say anything that might lead into a fight. Just express your feelings in an orderly fashion and make sure you try not to hurt your partner (emotionally and physically).
There are lots of ways to end relationships. There are some that use the easy way out and there are some that are the recommended way to end relationships. The quick and easy way is usually rude and leaves the other partner with a broken heart and a confused mind wondering why in the hell did he/she just say or do that. Here are some of the ways people use the easy or lame way to end relationships.
Text Messages: Lots of people use text messages to end their relationship with there partner. This is lame. Why not do it face to face. With text messages, they also could add mean comments knowing that they are not directly in harms way and wont get punched for it. Just a joke but could be a reality.
Over the Phone: This goes for the same thing as text messages
Through A Friend or Someone Else: Its bad when someone else other than your partner has to tell you that it is over. This usually means that the other partner doesn't have enough guts to say its over.
Flowers or Gifts: You may not see it a lot but it does happen. You get a nice bouquet of flowers and there is a note attached. "Thanks for the wonderful times we shared but I think it isn't going to work out. Please except these roses as our parting away gift." Isn't this so lame.
Ignoring It: You may be calling, texting, or visiting your partner and notices he/she is ignoring all of your efforts to reach out to him/her. If you are getting ignored all the time, then chances are your relationship has been over for a while.
In Public: I have personally seen this happen. The couple gets into an argument and say its over for good. This is probably to make sure no one gets too upset that they might resort to violence. Don't want to do that in a public surrounding.
Myspace or Social Network Sites: I have also seen this happen. A friend of mines was showing me her boyfriend on myspace and she noticed that his social status was on single. She questioned him and to her surprise, he was breaking up with her. Very sad story but it happens. This is so cowardly and lame.
Causing Your Relationship To End: This is one of the most easiest and meanest ways to end a relationship. If you know your spouse will break up with you if you are caught cheating and you cheat on purpose to end the relationship, that is lame and will work. Another example would be getting a job. Your partner says "If you don't find a job by next month, we are finished." Then you put no effort into finding a job and actually do the opposite. You know its going to end. This method is mean and it is inconsiderate.
Now you have some of the easiest, meanest, lame and inconsiderate ways to end a relationship. For more recommended or less hurtful ways to end a relationship, read the next post.
I have compiled a list of quotes used to end a relationship. Some are just right out funny and some are really mean, and then there are some that make sense and won't offend the partner as long as it is used in the right context.

Sometimes people question if ending their relationship is the right thing to do. It is normal to have doubts about ending a relationship. There could be a way to handle whatever problems you are having with your partner. Here are some questions to ask yourself or your partner before ending a relationship.
Is this what you really want?- Do you really want to stay in this relationship? This can be a hard question to consider because you really wouldn't need to answer the rest of the questions if you knew you didn't want to be in the relationship.
Would you be better off without your spouse?-Is your partner holding you back in your life? Nothing should hold you back from doing what you need/want to do in life.
What are the problems in this relationship? Can we talk them over and figure out a plan of action to solve them?- Realize what the problems are in your relationship and see if they can be talked about and handled in an orderly fashion.
Is there any abuse?-If there is any abuse in the relationship, you need to end your relationship as quickly as possible. Most abusive circumstances end up in a very bad way.
What could we do to better our relationship?-Talk about the things that your partner could do that would make you happy along with your partnership.
Are you willing to make things work?- If you are not willing to make things right, you might as well end it.
Will you regret it?- You may regret ending your relationship, but it might have been the best option. If there could have been a way to work things out, will you regret it then?
Do you have children?-If you have children with your partner, it is best to think about them as well. What would be best for them? Its best to stay on good terms if you can't work things out.
Do you love and like each other?- You can love your partner but don't like him or her. It goes for the same thing around. You have to love and like your partner. You don't have to but if there is a chance, you truly would.
These are some of the hardest and most important questions to ask before ending a relationship. Make sure this is what you want to do before you end it. Ask yourself or your partner questions to see if you two are on the same track and haven't missed anything you may have in your relationship. You might be surprised when you know the answers.
Here are some of the signs that may cause you to think your relationship is about to end.
1. Little Or No Sex Life: If you can't remember the last time you and your partner was intimate, this may be a sign that your relationship is about to be over. This can be the result of many different issues but the main cause of bad sex life is cheating and/or loss of desire for the other partner.
2. Little Or No Communication: If you are sitting at candle lit dinner table and you cant think of anything to say to each other, you might find yourselves splitting up. Communication is a must have in relationships. If you are not communicating with your partner, things might have went dead for your relationship
3. No Time For You: When your partner acts like he doesn't have time for you, you might want to think about leaving him or her.
4. Comes Home Late: This can be excusable if you are really working hard or have family emergencies, but if you find your partner coming home late on a daily routine, there is a chance he or she isn't being faithful.
5. Being Sneaky: Whether its erasing text messages or having private phone calls they don't want you to know about, it is sneaky and more than likely they are hiding something from you.
6. Arguing/Fighting: You are constantly fighting with each other or arguing about the same problems over and over with no end or resolution.
7. Putting You Down: When your partner is always complaining about what you look like or saying things that don't help your self esteem or confidence in your relationship, this is a put down.
8. Lots Of Closer Friends Of The Opposite Sex: If your partner has friends of the opposite sex that gets more attention than you, you might have a problem.
9. Cant Stand To Be Around Them: If you are happy and all of a sudden your partner walks in the room and you have a frown on your face, something is wrong.
10. They Have Cheated: If your partner has cheated on you in the past, you have little belief in him or her and you will constantly think (and may be) they are cheating on you again.
If you are experiencing 4 or more of these problems, you might want to find help for your relationship before it ends.
Before a relationship can come to an end, there must have been a reason for it. There are a lot of problems or reasons why relationships end. Here are the top four most common reasons why relationships don't last and some of the problems associated with it.
Problem #1: Cheating/Infidelity
This is one of the most common reasons why most relationships end. Some relationships can overcome this problem, but most are hurt by the issue and don't trust in their partner. If there is no trust, there can't be a good relationship. They end up worrying too much about if the other partner is cheating on them that they can't focus on rebuilding that trust they used to have. Cheating is regular problem in the relationships we have today and continues to be an issue.
Problem #2: Lack Of Affection
Many couples love to hear the other say "I love you". They might hear that a lot in the beginning but notice that it soon dies down. This is the same for hugging, kissing, and being intimate. If you slow down on the affection enough, it will have the other partner wondering if you if still have love for them and care about them. If your love life and/or affection is dead, you might as well say your relationship is too.
Problem #3: Fighting/Arguing
Almost everyone has had an argument or fight with their significant other. This can be very normal because it is in our human nature to disagree on things, but if arguing and fighting is all you do in your relationship, you might need to call a counselor, or get ready for a break-up. When in relationships, couples have to find an alternative to arguing and fighting and do the complete opposite. Sit down and have a serious conversation and lay the cards on the table in a good manner or just take a break and come back when you have let some steam off. A lot of arguing and fighting isn't good for a relationship and it ends up being a problem neither partner can handle and you know what that leads to.
Problem #4: Controlling/Jealous Partner
At first you might like to see your boyfriend/girlfriend get jealous of you because it might be a sign that he really cares for you and don't want anyone else to have you, but in reality this could lead to a controlling partner. When you are in a relationship, you don't want to be told who you can see, what you can do, what not wear, and so on. This controlling problem can also lead to violence. You should make it where your partner trusts you and the same for the other. Many relationships end because of a controlling partner or jealousy. You have to be able to trust each other in relationships.
So now you have four of the most common reasons why relationships end. If you can avoid these top four problems, you can have a fighting chance at saving your relationship. There are other problems that cause relationships to end, but they are not as serious as these and could be dealt with more easily.
