Do it face-to-face

面对面，说清楚

Both Winch and Sussman say in-person breakups are the most considerate and mature option for established couples, and should preferably happen in a private place. “If it’s in public, they might be distraught, and then they have to somehow get home, which is horrible,” Winch says. The best place to do it is in their home, not yours, he adds, so you can leave if the situation gets too drawn out, and so that they’re in a familiar place.

卫恩齐和苏斯曼都提到，对于已经确立关系的伴侣来说，私下、面对面谈分手是最体贴和成熟的方式。卫恩齐说：“如果在公众场合，被甩的一方情绪会比较容易失控，这种情况下再独自回家是比较危险的。”谈这类问题最好的地方就是在对方家里，而不是你的家里，这样如果谈得不太顺畅你可以离开，而对方也是在自己熟悉的地方。”

That said, there are a few exceptions to the face-to-face rule, Winch says. Most importantly, if you fear for your safety in any way, you should keep your distance. Aside from that, a phone-based breakup may be okay if you’re dating long-distance, or if you’ve only seen each other a few times. For very new dating situations that have only lasted a date or two, you can even get away with a text.

卫恩齐说，不过“面对面”原则也有几种例外的情况。最重要的是，如果你担心自身的安全，你还是应该与对方保持距离。除此以外，如果是异地恋，或者彼此只见过几面，电话分手也是可行的。如果只是刚刚开始的恋情、只见过一两次面，那么短信分手也不是不可以。
