Texting: Breaking Up Over Text

Ending a relationship with a romantic partner can be an emotional experience for both partners, and doing it via text may be the safest way if there is some concern about personal safety. But if there isn’t a concern about safety, many people believe the most respectful way to end a relationship is in-person. But beliefs and values change over time, and are different for different people. If you’re not sure which breakup strategy is right for you, talk it out with a friend or trusted adult. [AA-032]
