A chat for saying it once. Tell it how long it has been and why now, and get a message you could actually send, plus the one line that holds when it gets challenged. No sign-up.
This is support, not therapy, and it is not a diagnosis. If you are in immediate danger call 911. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, call or text 988 in the US for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If you are afraid of a partner, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to break up with someone over text?
It depends on what the relationship is. A few dates, a situationship, or long distance are all reasonable to end in writing, and dragging someone to a coffee shop for it is not more respectful. A long relationship or a shared home usually is not, because the conversation has to happen anyway. If you are afraid of their reaction, writing is the safer choice and you do not have to justify it.
What should a breakup text actually say?
Three things and nothing else: that you are ending it, one true reason, and that you are not going to change your mind. Short is better than thorough. A long message reads as an invitation to argue each point, and every extra sentence gives them somewhere to push. Do not offer a friendship you do not want yet, and do not add a maybe later, because that is the part they will hold onto.
Do I have to give a reason?
One is usually enough, and one is better than five. A single honest reason is hard to argue with. A list looks like a set of problems to be fixed, and the reply will be a plan to fix the easiest one. You do not owe a full account of how you got here, and you are allowed to say that it is not working for you without proving your case.
Does this save what I write, or do I need an account?
No account, no email, nothing to sign up for. What you type goes to the coach to write the message and is not stored on this page after you close the tab. The message it drafts is not sent anywhere and cannot be sent from here. Copy it out if you want to keep it, because closing the tab loses it.
What if I am scared of how they will react?
Then writing is the right call, and you can end it from somewhere safe with someone who knows where you are. Tell a friend before you send it. If you are afraid of what this person may do, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233, you can text START to 88788, or use the chat at thehotline.org. If you are having thoughts of hurting yourself, call or text 988 in the US.
