How To End an Online Relationship (Over Email or Text)

If you are in an online relationship and you’ve decided that you want to break up, here is how to end an online relationship.


Dearest [name],

As we’ve grown accustomed to exchanging messages online, I’ve reflected on how this relationship is progressing. Thankfully, it has progressed a lot better than what I expected it to. In fact, you’re one of the best people I have met online and that is saying lot since I have met only a handful. Unfortunately, I am not ready for what you want to happen next.

Judging from how we’ve interacted with each other, I know you are a wonderful person. Thus, I am telling you now this won’t work out between us. I am confident it will work with you and another person though. This doesn’t mean I am asking you to no longer message me though. I would be more than happy to stay friends with you.

Truly yours,
