5 major locations for the best breakup

Ending a relationship and living through a heartbreak is as inevitable as it is painful.

When it comes to breaking up a relationship, attention to detail is key

However, the process in itself can be a chore, given all the possible ways it can go terribly wrong.

The process if done properly can also save someone a whole world of hurt too.

Most people resort to the modern practice of doing the deed via text (which is mostly rude and cowardly, or they just keep mute,  hoping the relationship will someday fizzle into non-existence.

However, some who are more mature prefer to handle the situation face to face.

While a confrontation is surely the best move, having the perfect location lessens the blow and certainly makes life a lot easier.

If you are looking for the best spot to put an end to a relationship or engagement, Here are your top 5 options.

1) Hospitals

A fancy hospital is a good spot for a break-up.

Call your mate to meet-up at the hospital, make sure you frame it as just a friendly visit, the randomness of the request will throw him or her off the scent of a potential break-up.

When they eventually show up, restrict yourself to the reception or areas without surgical tools lying around and then make your confession.

While it may seem irrational, breaking up in a hospital can definitely make the process smooth and easy.

The ‘dumpee’ will be surrounded by the sick and unhealthy which will help them put things in perspective – they might have been ditched and their hearts broken, but they are still healthy and alive.

Also, if the breakup completely overwhelms them and they suffer from extreme panic attack or collapse, there will be plenty of cute doctors or nurses to help make that transition smoother.

2) Shopping Malls

Any of the largest grocery shops in your area can serve as a very good spot to have a pleasant, relationship-ending conversation with a mate.

Pick one of the many nooks or isles in the store and hopefully, the fact that there are cameras and other people around, will deter any argument from getting too loud.

Also, your mate cannot lash out and break or smash anything in anger as they would have to pay for it.

The pros to this break up is that not only is it really public and quite safe, they are usually located in close proximity to restaurants, café and bars that can offer solace in form of food and drink to the mate that was just dumped.

3) Art Galleries

Art galleries are also top options for breaking up with someone.

The pressures of social norms are on your side for this location, because no one wants to make scene in an art gallery.

Like most galleries, there is an unspoken “keep things quiet” rule, and actually, it can be easier to break the news over a famous painting or prestigious artifact on display knowing your partner will most likely be kicked out if they get loud.

Again, the serene classy environment can curb their urge to make an outburst and encourage them to keep it together.

While your newest ‘ex’ may not appreciate your choice of location, seeing as you are basically silencing your partner from speaking their feelings and expressing their emotions, but if you’re looking for the best way to prevent a scene, this is the way to go.

4) Airports

Airports are notoriously transient, full of people coming and going, however, its high ceilings and numerous cafes are the perfect spot to deplane from your relationship.

It certainly offers the perfect mix of privacy and safety and any person will think twice about creating a scene to avoid epic embarrassment; considering the crowd that crams the airport at all times.

In case your mate decides to lash out inordinately, the security at the airport will quickly  intervene, saving you from possible danger.

While it sounds awful to wait until someone is about to board a plane to dump them, breaking things off at an airport allows you and the person literally close the door on one chapter of their lives and start afresh with a another.

They can take the time on their trip to absorb the break up, move on and prepare their mind for a true new beginning.

5) Night Clubs

Breaking up with someone in a nightclub might sound cliché, but it works every time.

The low lighting will help you evade the hateful gaze of your now ‘ex’.

Also, no one will hear the spiteful words your former lover may throw at you over the loud roar of music.

In addition, the club is always crammed with a lot of single Lagosians looking to hook up or meet someone, therefore your ex will stand a high chance of getting on the rebound as quickly as possible.

Clubs are certainly best for those looking to avoid the guilt that comes along with looking into the sad eyes of the breakup victim, the location has everything you need.
