Breaking up with someone you previously loved is hard. No one likes breaking up with someone, and often it's the brave person who makes the final decision who gets all the slack, even if it was a decision made for all the right reasons. However, there's a certain etiquette to terminating a relationship in the least painful way. It takes courage to break someone's heart, and to actually face up to how emotional one person can make another person feel by exempting yourself from a life you both originally thought you were making together. Some people get creative with break ups. With letters, or drawings, or taking the soon-to-be-ex somewhere nice. Losing someone you adore is hard; having them take the piss and leaving you with little dignity when it's truly over is even worse. Here are ten mean ways to break up with someone; don't take them as advice, only as methods to avoid should you find yourself sick of your boyfriend or girlfriend and looking for an interesting way out. Because no-one likes an a-hole.
