Breakups are not easy. Having that awkward conversation is difficult for most people. Every relationship and situation is different. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to breaking up. But empathy and respect towards each other can make breaking up less painful than it already is. Ending relationships, as hard as it is, can teach us how to be honest and kind during difficult conversations.
