Being dumped is a difficult thing to recover from, as anyone who has ever been dumped could attest to. But being the one to initiate the breakup can also be one of the hardest things you’d ever have to do in life. After all, there’s a very thin line between a “clean” breakup and a bad one. If you’re not careful enough, chances are, things could get pretty messy.

Delaying tactics won’t work, and they’ll only confuse the already difficult situation. Go straight to the point.
