It was hard for me to break up with a girl I was living with. We were both miserable and she was a control freak (I now know the signs, thank god). I did not want to move back in with my parents so we just stayed together, miserably.

Later desperately trying to get her to move out so I can keep the department I became a "rebel". I would go drinking with my friends till 3 in the morning and come home and play some heavy metal really loud while she was sleeping and had to work the next morning.

My plan backfired, a few weeks of early morning metal, and she kicks my ass out.

Knock knock, Hi mom, dad.....
may I sleep on the couch.
I was still happier after that than I was in the relationship.

Ideally, we should strive to end friendships without being unfriendly in the process. Many times our paths will cross again with the individuals involved and it is better to be on pleasant terms instead of an enemy. Romans 12:18 says, "If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men." This is true, even when we end friendships. May you find courage to end friendships when you must and tact to do it as peacefully as possible.

A really good friend is one who will tell us when we misbehave—and everyone does on occasion. As 1 John 1:8 explains, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves." So don't end a friendship just because a friend tells you that you've done something wrong. You may lose one of the best friends you could have.

On other occasions, we may find ourselves in the opposite position—that of telling a friend that he or she made a mistake. If our friend acknowledges the problem and tries to change, we should be there for him or her to encourage the friend to live in a godly manner. This isn't a time to end a friendship either.

You don't have to officially "end" the friendship unless you don't intend to be friends with the person again. this is not a business or employee/employer relationship. just stop talking to her. Sometimes a friend has different values than you do. It is important to end the friendship before they change you.
If it comes to a showdown, be clear, be honest and be firm.

My most interesting way of ending a romantic relationship.
" I would like you to meet my wife."

Great question by the way since this is part of life we want to do the best way in such unplesant situation.The worst i ever did was to bring up a list of faults and criticism .(..because you do not do this for me...it is not going to work.)When i ended my marriage was because I could not trust my partner.
Today i learn that you must pick up the right time and do it in a private situation and not over the phone , letter , text message or internet.Discus...

Today i learn that you must pick up the right time and do it in a private situation and not over the phone , letter , text message or internet.Discuss this serious matter face to face and speak the truth.Use phrases that focus on how you feel..I NEED A PERSON WHO....I FEEL THIS RELATIONSHIP SHOULD END BECAUSE...Be firm and do not let the other person alter your decision by manipulation.
Just today someone I know ended their relationship to my suprise because the excuse was ...the age difference ( a young woman with outgoing personality with an older person who wants a quiet life.
I am curious to see what will be the other reasons others will say.

Well there was a girl back in the 13th century who I went out with for a while but it was never going to work; just a lack of clickiness really. I behaved abominably and knowingly engineered the situation so that in the end she dumped me.
Twenty years later I had a friends reunited message asking how I was and what was I up to. An exchange of e-mails ensued until finally one night in a fit of remorse brought on a very nice bottle of Lirac I confessed my crime...

Twenty years later I had a friends reunited message asking how I was and what was I up to. An exchange of e-mails ensued until finally one night in a fit of remorse brought on a very nice bottle of Lirac I confessed my crime and apologised and admitted to having been a bastard.
Two days passed before her reply which read - "Oh Danny you silly boy, you're more of a bastard than you think. It was my sister you went out with".

One night, I just told *sshole that I wanted to break up. At this point I knew he will probably rough me up a bit. He hid the car keys so I can't leave, then rip the phone out of the wall so I can't call the police or anyone to come get me. He held hold me down on the bed by my throat for several hours, threatening to kill me if I'll left. I hung in there. He has to sleep sometime.

Wait until *sshole falls asleep then pack up just what I can fit in a garbage bag, leaving all of my earthly possessions including the house, the car, the leased furniture, and everything else, which, by the way it was all in my name. I really didn't need any of that stuff, so I just want OUT. Leaving everything I own will serve as my attempt to make the break up as short and sweet as possible. (As a side note, it won't keep the break-up scenario from getting very ugly and lasting more than a year, but at least this way your credit will be ruined for the rest of your life!)

I threatened to have mine deported back to Mexico. Something I very much regret in my youth. Very ashamed.

O dear, I just have a one-person pity party. It's grief from a failed relationship still holding me a prisoner. "Give into the pain. Tell yourself, 'I will let myself grieve.' Then I get out all the pictures of the two of you together and voice all those irrational thoughts like, no one will ever love me again. Keep going until a little voice inside says, 'I don't care. That's when I should take an aspirin and go to sleep. The next day when I wake up I'll be in a rational state. Repeating this party as oftern as ne...
