I think that if you are breaking up with someone because your interests have changed, you think in a very different way, you feel there are many blank spaces between the other person and you or you've grown apart, try and be considerate in ending the relationship. Think about how you would want the other person to act towards you in the same situation because It´s important not to hurt the other person.
I believe there are some good things we can do to break up someone:
· Be honest, tell the person what has changed and why.
· Be kind, (there is no need to be nasty - the person will feel hurt already) but not soft (don't get talked into going back with the person just to save his or her feelings).
· Don't get into blaming each other.
· Time it right, eg don't tell the person just when he or she is going through huge dramas such as exams or family problems.
· Continue to treat the other person with respect even after the relationship ends - you may end up remaining friends.
· Be prepared for the person to feel hurt, no matter how considerate you are, he or she will still feel hurt. You might feel sad that it's ended too.
