Breakups are never easy. People should choose the right moments. These occurrences should not be public and should be done in private between the two parties. Here is a list of 10 places you should not break up with someone.
1. Restaurants:
Do yourself a favour and do not do this in a restaurant. You may end up causing a scene which may get you kicked out. Be tactful and do not choose a public place where you go usually.
2. Park:
This is definitely not a good idea. First of all, parks have kids walking around. What example are you purporting when you are arguing over an imminent break-up? Just like in a restaurant, you may be asked to leave.
3. Birthday Party:
Do not be David Silver on 90210, who broke up with his high school sweetheart on her birthday and at her birthday party. He was not very smooth about it either. Heartless people do this. Do not follow suit.
4. Vacation/Holiday:
This is the worst place to break-up. You are stuck together on the trip. You cannot just change flights just because you do not want to see the person. You may want to even try to use the time to talk.
My friend was getting married after being in a long distance relationship. As soon as things got sour, she booked an earlier flight out and was back home in no time. It cost her $150 to change flights.
5. Kitchen:
This is not a good idea to initiate a conversation about breakups. It has a number of sharp objects that should be avoided when getting someone upset.
6. Family picnic/barbecue:
You really do not want to deal with the staring faces and also those who are disappointed. If you are a male, you may watch out for your ex’s father coming at you.
7. Online:
This has happened more times than I can possibly imagine. One girl sent me a message on Facebook 2 pages long that she was too busy to date after the first date. She forgot to call me for 1 month. 1 month later she was up for resuming dating. She actually was serious about being busy but does not excuse the 1 month absence.
8. Work:
First of all that is just plain rude! Second of all, no worker will ever look at you the same if the argument escalates. Keeping work and home separate is the key. Do not go to each other’s’ work to break up. Let alone, do not work with people you date as that may turn ugly.
9. Letter:
Face each other and say it. Do not write it. Men should have the balls and women should be tough to face their fears. If they fear the relationship they should seek assistance.
10. Plane:
It has happened before especially on Seinfeld between David and Elaine. Remember that you need to sit together for the whole trip. Choose the momenta.
