Tips for Breaking Up: 4 things you must avoid at all costs

I was faced with the need to break with the love-of-my-life-du-jour more than a couple of times over the years. However, I suppose the most difficult for me to break happened about 6 years ago. She was tall, elegant, with auburn hair and a smile. But the signs were all there and the two of us knew it was not just going to work out.

There were just too many problems, too many lingering questions, too many doubts - and this was the end. So one day I just picked up the courage to confront her and started to break. I will spare you the gory details, but suffice to say it ended badly.

Looking back on that fateful day, as I have done many times since then, when the memory pops up periodically in my head when we least expect it, I studied what I did well and (more important), what I did wrong.

For the benefit of future generations (and anyone reading this article), I took the time to put together some tips for breaking in terms of what does not - under any circumstances - to do. So here are the 4 things you must avoid when you break with him or her.
