It's difficult because we don't know how soon we will move on or how soon they will move on. If you want to break up, keep in mind that you have the opportunity to move on to someone who just may be better than the person you were with. Let them move on. Your happiness is the most important.

well, if you want to break up with the person, you must want to for a reason, so think of the reason and just remember why you want to break up with your parnter, if that reason is good enough to move on then so be it.

You'll have to learn to accept it. Even if the thought hurts you, if you really don't want to be with the person then you need to lose this feelings.

It is true breaking up is hard to do but if you know for a fact that the relationship is not moving in the right direction then sometimes we are not meant to be with everyone we meet and or date some people come into our life for different reasons sometimes people teach us things and sometimes people just want to use us but we should always know when to hold out and know when to fold. Letting go of a dating relationship go will never be easy but moving on is so important to both parties and processing the break up. It helps realizing that you should just be friends is not as bad as you may think. It can free both of you to meet the greatest love of your life. Often times it is not a bad idea to see them move on to someone else and you move on to a new relationship. In my opinion the best strategy is have respect for each and be calm and be sensitive when ending the relationship and understand that departing the relationship opens up new doors and other chances to meet someone wonderful. Yes, in most cases you both will move on to other people but a healthy mindset and respect for each other will help you both to move on.

Suggest an open relationship, so that you don't have to leave them. No commitment needed, no worries of them moving on :)

You need to put yourself in there shoes, it would be unfair to expect the person to be alone forever. Distance is hard but an important part of a break up in my experience. Distanced allows you to removed that person from your day to day thoughts and before you know it you have moved on and they have also.
