The doctors of Doctored Up discuss ending relationships. 

When ending a relationship, it's important to be kind, honest, and respectful. Here are some tips for ending a relationship: 

• Have a face-to-face conversation: Be honest, but avoid being overly detailed. 
  
  
• Consider the other person's perspective: Try to understand how they might feel. 
  
  
• Avoid blame: Don't shame or blame the other person. 
  
  
• Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries. 
  
  
• Make a plan: Create a plan for after the breakup and stick to it. 
  
  
• Allow yourself to grieve: Understand that you'll feel hurt and sad, and give yourself time to heal. 
  
  Make a clean break: Create distance between you and the other person. 
  
  An amicable parting can be a successful way to end a relationship. However, staying together despite incompatibility or loneliness can be a failure.
