I'm not sure there is a specific way to do this, but it can be done with maturity and respect. If the relationship is over, there is no need to fight, to say hurtful things, to spread gossip. Part on friendly terms and with your head held high.

I feel like if each person talks to each other and say how they feel they will know where they stand, this may ease letting go.

Breaking up is normally never a simple process. In my experience (i'm on good terms with all my ex's) I have found it best to be totally honest with each other, what worked, what didn't and what you want in the future. Its best being honest now rather then not and regretting it later.

I think each person should come to an agreement on how things should end and both should be responsible for why the breakup is occurring.

Usually it is best if breakups are mutual but sometimes that is not the case. However I feel a breakup needs to be cordial establishing why it is needed. Relationships can turn into simple friendships if there is good enough closure established at the breakup. Both the partners need to empathize and understand. Each person should clearly state why they want to breakup and be truthful for the same. A breakup can be really fragile and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Maybe the partners need to ensure that the other person and they themselves have someone to fall back on, someone they can talk to about this.

When there is no feelings for each other anymore, just let each other go. But it depends, if you still love him, and he doesn't anymore, you could fight for him if you can and if you want to. If you can't, it's not wrong to just give up.

I believe that a break up should be done in a calm enviroment where the two can minimalise pain as much as possible. This way you can both part on good times and hopefully salvage a friend ship

Each person should talk to one another about why they want to and don't want to be in the relationship. If the problems can be resolved ("I'm moving away" "Okay, we'll meet up once a week to make up for it") then it would be easier to work through it. Things that can not be resolved should be spoken about and an agreement should be made. Breakups don't have to be shouting and screaming and can be made easier by talking through it!

A breakup can be difficult to go through, especially when you truly love that person. The best thing to do is to simply let things go. It will not happen overnight, but eventually you will slowly loosen your grip on the heartache, and on the person that you were in a relationship with, and you will learn to accept the separation as it is. To do this, you can stay away from social media especially your ex-significant other's social media, tell your family and friends to not bring up the breakup or ask how he/she is doing unless you bring it up, and most importantly keep yourself distracted! Surround yourself with positive people who will be there to distract you, and support you through your hardships.

Initiate the breakup while you are both in a calm, rational state of mind - don't do it when either of you are angry or upset or drunk. When speaking, keep the focus on yourself & why you feel the relationships needs to end - don't make it about their shortcomings or they may try to bargain with you to get you stay. After it's over, give each other the space you require - some people need to go completely no-contact to move on.
