    Break ups are hard enough already. Give them enough respect to be honest.

    • You are a good person. Honesty IS about respect.

      It's going to hurt any way it's delivered. Just because it's honest doesn't meant it has to be insensitive either. It says a lot about a person's character in how they break up with someone they once loved.

    It's better to be honest. You don't start a relationship based on lies and you certainly shouldn't end one with a lie.

    I've made elaborate stories but they weren't for break-ups.

    Mmmmm I've always been somehow frank. I remember calling a man I was dating and he told me he was coming to see me. When he arrived I announced him that our story was ending here because I have found a better boyfriend :)

    Biggest lie ever : it's not you, it's me. While actually thinking "you piss me off".

        Yup. I couldn't find a way to phrase it without unecessary violent words.

        • lie vs. violent words

          Both are cruel.
          Perhaps you could have found a way to tell the truth without using 'unnecessary' violent words.
          Next time, maybe.
