I have only ever broken it off myself once. And even then I did it online because I wasnt man enough to do it in person. The other times I have had someone else do it because it was my current gf, but we've gone off and on. I was too much in love with her to face her and say it, but it needed done because of other things that had happend. Getting broken up with hurts pretty badly too. The longer you go out the worse it gets. When my current gf broke up with me when we went out the first time I was crushed and had to avoid her for more than a week to keep myself from getting upset. Other times havn't been nearly as bad though.
