The end is near

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

ENDING a relationship that you’ve been in for years can be difficult, as often there are ties that are not easily severed.

How would you approach such a situation?

Calvin, 31:

I would sit her down and let her know that I’m not happy and that it makes no sense to carry on.

Reggie, 34:

If I cared about this woman I would try and find a way to make her understand that I’m not happy, and if after talking to her she doesn’t get it, then I would have no choice but to end it and walk away.

Kelly, 26:

I think that some things require a delicate touch, but then there are some that you have to be downright blunt with. Worse, if you have been complaining about the relationship to your partner and he has done nothing to improve it.

Nigel, 37:

If children are involved it would be harder for me to leave.  Chances are I would stay in it a bit longer because of my children

Gillian, 29:

I would just be honest with the person and just tell them how I feel and my reasons for leaving.
