Tips on how to dump someone without hurting them

According to online counselling website betterhelp, 4000 Ugandans take their lives every year due to ended relationships.

Here’s how to break up with someone without hurting them so hard.

Be the first to tell them.

Much as you may discuss with friends about the decision you are about to make,  don’t let him or her hear it from another person. Whatever you do, don’t have a friend pass on the information for you.

Meet in person and in private.

Breaking up over text, email, or anything besides a conversation is a terrible idea. Meet in person, and meet somewhere you can talk in private, where he won’t be embarrassed by the possibility of strangers overhearing.

Give actual reasons.

He’ll almost certainly ask “Why?” and you need to be prepared for this. Don’t give false hope by saying you want more free time, or that it’s just a bad time in your life. You’re breaking up because the relationship isn’t working out, and he needs to know that.
