Whether you're dumping or getting dumped, try these steps for  the best possible escape route……. Operate quickly.If you're the one doing it, do it now.  If the breakup is happening to you, time is your enemy, too. Tell, don't show.Just say what you desire. Clearly, honestly.  Being with someone is an act of showing the other person what you feel. But breaking up is simply an act of telling them what you want. Get clear on this: they either want the same thing, or they do not. Don't worry about staying friends. You have enough friends. Just don't make enemies. You have enough enemies. You Throw away your cell phone, stay off the Internet, don't show up. Don't communicate. The word of the moment is distance........That's it. These rules work both ways — for dumper and dumpee
