Always hard to do, and always hard if another one does to you. To find the moment is so hard, and when it's found, the words are so confused and doesn't want to go out of mouth. For me, a so hard moment.

I've been married for 31 years to a wonderful woman, so I don't plan on doing this ever. But when I was younger and dating this was very hard to do and it was also hard to have done to you. But, with that said it's better to end a relationship before marriage than to wait and realize later you made a mistake. This is especially important if you believe like me that marriage is for life!

Especially if she was able to tie a knot in a cherry stem with her tongue.

If a relationship gets to a point where it must be broken, it means that it is broken already. You can either try to mend it or simply throw the pieces in the garbage bin.

Depends on the relationship.  Shorter termed relationships you don't have quite as much invested emotionally so yes it is difficult...but easier to get over.  I was with the same guy for eight years and we talked marriage and were building a house together.  I just couldn't marry him and though he never cheated nor was abusive...he just wasn't motivated.  And he lied a lot.  Shame too because he could have done so much with himself...its behind me now but I still wonder from time to time what could have been.

It can depend on a number of factors,such as was there infidelity or are you  moving across the country.And alot depends on how long you were together and how well you meshed together in the relationship. IT's never easy no matter what to break off a relationship no matter how bad it always seemed to be with that person,human nature is to remember the good times and hope it would get better,when the decision is finally made you wonder for the most part was it right,and how can I live without this person,life will be so different,but eventually you will survive and be a stronger person for it.

ugh

Its very hard to break off no matter how rough the relation is! There is lot of pain involved but if its for the best, do it and look ahead. No pint in being in relation that gives more pain than smiles. God has something better in store for you.

Depending on how much you cared about this person, or if you still care about him/her, but know that it's for the best. I had to break up with this guy once, and even though I no longer had feelings for him, it was still hard, because I still liked him as a friend.

it took me 24 years of mental, verbal and physical abuse to finally wake up and say i had enough. i kick myself for taking as long as i did but i am happy now at least.

If it could get ugly and messy then very difficult but if it is a short fling then nah.

This is a hard thing to do because you don't want to offend or hurt the person, but you want to give them the message that you are either not attracted to them, or in marriage, they have been very unfaithful and you have to break it off. Breaking a relationship doesn't necessarily mean breaking off with your married partner or a boy/girlfriend breaking up type scenario, breaking up is also when you have befreinded a person or group, but they are a bad influence on you and not the sort of people you should be hanging around with. This can actually be harder then breaking up with a lover because there is more of a threat of violence against you especially if you are breaking up with a group of 'friends' who want you to commit a crime with them or take drugs, or there is more of a threat of gossiping, especially if you are breaking up with a group because of their malicious slander. Then they will be offended and start spreading nasty things about you. Plus it can be very vibey. But breaking up with a partner, it depends. Sometimes it can be easy and the other person finds another lover so they aren't concerned about you anymore, or it can be very nasty with legal battles especially if you get an obsessive partner. They can be very dangerous.

Getting out of a bad one was the hardest thing I ever did. But there have been a couple of others where it was just something I HAD to do and did, without much struggle. It's always traumatic on some level though.
