<human>:  What's the best way to break off a bad relationship with someone?
<bot>: The best way to break off a bad relationship with someone is to be honest and direct about your feelings. Let them know why the relationship isn't working, and express your need to move on. If possible, have the conversation in person to ensure both parties are clear and respectful. If not, it may be best to communicate through a letter or conversation over the phone. Regardless, make sure to end the conversation on a positive note.
