Hi crazy,

If you’re going to break up with her, do it NOW, or well after Valentine’s Day. Otherwise you’ll be “That Guy” that broke up with her during the holidays! Why give her one more thing to lament about? There is no perfect time, but some times are better than others. If you’re too chicken to do it NOW, then this time will put the pressure off you for a time.

Also, break up with her on a Friday or during a long weekend. (NOT during a vacation). Then her work won’t suffer as much. She’ll have the weekend to cry and vent to her friends.

Tell her parents or a best friend who can keep a secret to casually stop by her house at a certain time (right after you break up with her) so she won’t be alone. Also, you’ll want that person to take her out to dinner or invite her to crash at their house and be taken care of that weekend.

After you’ve done the dirty deed, DON’T contact her for a year, even if she tries to contact you. It will only prolong her suffering.

Best,

Inky
