Write a Dear John letter on behalf of a woman who has been living with her husband in a civil marriage for two years. Now she realizes that her love has passed and she makes a difficult decision to break up with him. However, she does not have courage enough to tell him about her intention face-to-face. Though she hates Dear John letters, this time she has no other choice but to write him a letter.
To write a Dear John letter, you should:
1. Eliminate all criticism of the person to soften the blow.
2. Provide one simple explanation about why you decided to broke up.
3. Be clear that you want to terminate the relationship. Leave no doubt.
4. Select the words carefully in order not to cause your husband more pain. Be honest and compassionate at the same time.
5. Wish him luck in future relationships.
