Finding a special someone to share life's great pleasures is always an exciting time. At first, this person is a complete stranger, then as time passes feelings begin to grow for each other. Soon things are getting hot and heavy in the back seat of your pickup after every date, and sometimes before. But what happens when things start turning south and that special person just isn't so special anymore. It's time to break up.

Breaking up sucks but we've all had to do it at one time. I have listed five possible ways to break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend, from worst to best, to help give you courage to end the nightmare that has become your relationship. Which option best suits you?

Text Message: Breaking up is hard to do. Breaking up is even harder to do when you have no backbone and hate confrontation. Unless you recognize that you are a cruel, cruel person try not to end a relationship by sending a text. Their phone beeps informing them of a newly received text. Their eyes begin to water as they words on the screen begin to slowly and painfully rip the heart from their chest. And where are you while this is happening? Safe and sound in your room.

Email: Using email to do your bidding is a slight step up from texting, because email is a bit more formal. "Yes, I've got an email from my man!" no, you've been dumped. If you see nothing wrong with this scenario, and you do not believe in "what goes around, comes around," then you may use this technique.

Note On The Front Door: You have very nice penmanship and you want to incorporate that into your breakup-so you write a note. You visit their home, but at a time you know they won't be there and post the note on the front door. Guess what? You're still a coward, and you deserve to be beat like a dirty rug. If you're a coward with nice handwriting then this is an acceptable way for you to dump someone.

Phone: You've been a huge loser most of your life, but you're trying to be a better person. You contemplate delivering the bad news personally, but the many previous years of being a loser takes control of your weak mind. You pick up the phone and dial the number. "Why," "What did I do," "How could you?" cry through the phone as you ignore the sobs and hang up the phone-realizing you are a bad person with little to offer your community.

Face-to-Face: You two have had some good times, but those days are long gone. You've tried to mend the hurts and pains but nothing seems to work-it's time to breakup. You are no super hero but their is some strength in you or you would have not ordered from that "roach coach" the other day. You call ahead and let them know you are coming over. The news has been delivered, sobs shared and hearts broken as you leave without looking back. Congratulations, you are one of the few decent persons left in this world.

If you have the courage and strength of a super hero or just an ounce, than this is the best way to breakup. I know and understand that this is also the most difficult way to breakup, but it says a lot about your dignity. It says that even though you don't have the same feelings, you still respect the other person.
