The Best (and Absolute Worst) Ways to Break Up

There isn’t always a “right” way to break up…but there is a wrong way. We polled our audience and are discussing the art of the exit in terms of method (when is a text sufficient?), best and worst places to break up (their place or yours?), optimal day of the week for ending things, and what absolutely not to do if you actually care about someone’s feelings. We share our own worst breakup stories, tell you the one place to never go when you’re on the rocks with a partner, and rank various locations for breakups from cars to restaurants to park benches. Before we get into the topic, we have updates on Rayna being sick and Ashley’s NYC home buying journey, and we break down the book of the moment – Strangers by Belle Burden. Enjoy!
