We asked: "What is the least painful way to break up with someone?"

He said: While there is no easy way to break up with someone, the easiest way would be to not have to look at the other person. A text message or email, while not always the most efficient way to bring closure in a relationship, is by far the least painful. Even though the person you are breaking up with may hate you forever, at least you do not have to face their wrath or watch them breakdown if you do it through text message or email.
