well, to be in a relationship, or hoping to be, means a lot. being in it, means something. something to think about. to really be thinking about. well, i never heard of break up that is with smile in their faces. however, breaking up is also not that easy. it involves a lot of emotions, and feelings to consider. what will happen next. did i break up that easy. what are the reasons. what would be. what... well, bare with me. this are just the questions to be answered when planning for break up. break up indeed is not that easy..

it never is easy indeed. there are a lot of factors being considered before considering doing such a move.

I think when you are in love and in the start of the relationship you wouldnt be thinking of breaking up at all. You would naively thinking that the relationship will last forever. For some it is true, but unfortunately not for some others.
I have been in many breakups, and I was always the one ending the relationship. At first when I was in teenager it was quite easy to breakup because I just tell them I dont want to be their gf anymore, and thats it, I dont care how much I have hurt him or whatever. Nothing they say can make me change my mind. But as I grew older and my relationship grew serious it is hard. I dont plan on how to breakup. But I do think a lot of the relationship and if I really feel there is no other way to continue on, then I will talk to him calmly. It will usually ended up in tears but once I think it all through my decision would be final :)
There is only one of my ex that Im still friends up till now, other than that, all the others we have lost contacts :)

I don’t think break ups can be planned…I mean people start a relation to continue with it and I think we all have our good intentions to carry on as long as possible…you know talking to our partners, counseling, mutual friends…everybody tries to avoid a break up. However when it does become inevitable, we just have to walk our separate ways one fine morning, that’s all. It cant be a premeditated decision…something over which one can mull over a long period of time…emotions cant be predicted like that, it happens on the spur of the moment. Even our most innocuous statements might hurt the other person somewhere or what we feel is the bitter truth might sound to the other person as accusations…all these things happen then and there….you cant premeditate a break-up…you just move along with the flow and try your best only to realize that well, you two cant move ahead together anymore so its best to part ways amicably.

it happens on the spur of the moment- somehow that is usually the case. we didn't planned it that way, but it has to end. and that is the weakness i have right now. that whenever i am to be in a relationship, my mind would wander as to if the time would come that we'll be breaking up again. hmm..

Breaking up is never easy, broke up with my bf last night not easy at all. Just hope we can work things out but that will be hard since we not spoke since.

It was hard for me, but I get used to being dumped. Then I noticed that whenever I dumped someone it became easy for me to do it. That's weird, because I have a different kind of result when it comes to breaking up. Everything is so easy.

hehe. that is weird,. it was not that easy really. i really don't think that it will come to this. but someone had just broke up with me. and i just smiled. and looked at the sky. and trying to remain calm and remain still. praying that the hurt would pass by. and it did not. it does not come that easy. but i understand the entire situation. it was understandable though. but still the pain remained. nothing is so easy this days. but i have to accept it.. thanks!

..hi.. oh yes.. there is no such thing is nice break up.. during this time, either one of the partners are hurt painfully.. and it will be hard to overcome the pain.. however, experiencing pain is a part of every relationship.. that is why everybody should be ready to accept this fact.. not all relationships end happily.. and so, love doesn't end after a break up.. a person should not stop loving and looking for the right person..

a person should not stop loving and looking for the right person..-- it is always easy said than done. somehow, i get your poin raynejasper. but in reality, your argument does not happen all the time. especially in the coping part. breaking up is not that easy. the text, the care, the call, the endearments. and everything that is involved in a relationship. and to sum it up, it just ended that time. it is never that easy. and will never be. but let us face it though. every relationship as of this time, when we are young, not yet ready for marriage is going to end anyway. and once we enter into this new journey, then let us be realistic. see what lies ahead. what is there for me. what is next. but i know, when we are in loved, it is like being numb with the reality of the situation, and being in the air experiencing an agape. that it must be it that time. and in the end, it does not end that way.. huhu

breaking up is never that easy, especially when you are already in a serious relationship. there may be different reasons for breaking up, but no matter what it is, the pain will always accompany with this decision. but that's for temporary only, time will heal and the pain will be over and you will become a more mature and stronger person than you were, and if you are sure with the decision you made, you won't have any regrets at the end.

regrets?. talking about it. somehow, it can't be blamed or not get accustomed to it. regret soon follow and condemnation. but it has to be that way. the feeling of regret is usually there at the beginning. and time heals everything. so let time be the mentor of this time.. thanks!

Breaking up is never easy. You are never prepared to end a relationship. You invest so much of your heart and soul into a relationship. Breaking up is like giving up on that person.

Depends on individual.
Some ppl who takes relationship lightly would probably break up a lot easier than ppl who take relationship very seriously.
But no matter what, do not hurt your partner by pointing out his bad habits, attitudes etc.

thank you.and let me consider it.. thanks.. but as of now, i didn't do it. and had been advising to never do it. it does no good. it only deepens the hurt and the pain. it never is good to hurt and to be hurt. just say goodbye, and allow time to heal..

It all depends on the situation. If your going to break up with someone try to be sensitive a little. I would break up with someone in a somewhat public place for safety reasons. I wouldn't do it around a holiday, anniversary, or birthday if I can help it. Don't text him or her the news. Try to be sensitive. Then maybe the break up would not be so hard that you can possibly remain friends. On the other hand it may be not go smooth and well your gonna need to run for cover. I think people need to know what was lacking and they were expecting from one another to fully understand how they got to this point. Its never really easy to do . Were not in the movies where it is scripted out to us on how to react. Its hard being in this position.

its never really easy to do..indeed, it is never easy to be doing. but it has to end. and i think, we really can't say when or where. or at least we can select where, but we really cannot say when. if the feeling is gone, then there is no worth discussing or continuing the relationship over. there are a lot of times that we are bounded with the thought that, maybe this time it will still work out. or maybe, just maybe. but it does not happen that way anymore. many times, we are so insensitive. yeah, but somehow, sensitivity leads to anoth issues that needs to be tackled with. it is not easy, and never easy to be doing. hmm. thanks newtalent..

i think the only way a break up would be easy is if you enter and exit a relationship without any feelings anyway. i'm pretty sure that the other side would be devastated but on the latter part it would just be about getting through the tears, bargaining and such.
if it's mutual breaking up involved then the easiest would probably when it's happened to a couple whose affection for each other has drifted away. there will be a longing of sorts but it shouldn't be too bad for both of them

there will be a longing of sorts but it shouldn't be too bad for both of them---indeed there is the longing in my heart right now. leaving behind the past is not that easy. it is just too bad that it has to end that way. but i know, that what happened is for the best and for maturity. learning to be able to adapt to this new situation. as they say, the most or the person who usually survived are those who are able to adapt to the different situations you are into. and this is just a test of everything i have right now. learning to make new friends and to love again. but somehow, memories crept in. i still lingers for the past. but it is already the past. i just hoped that we both learned. and that will make us grow together. and in time, when we meet again, we will just embrace each one. and laught it off. will it be possible?...

Hmmm... the process of breaking up is not easy, though telling the person that you will break up is. You can tell your bf or gf that you want to break it up him him/her, especially when angry, but when the anger fades and you start to realize that you already broke up, that's hard. It's hard because, not being with the person you love is hard.

I have the problem that I can never end a relationship forever.I am too good person and cannot be angry for a long time so when after a long time some of my previous boyfriends calls me I can't resist the temptation as I know all the good things we have been through.
