<human>: We're about about 6 months in. The relationship has been fading the last month or so - don't talk or go out as much, she's been distancing herself, so I don't see this lasting much longer (ages 22m, 21f if relevant)

Her birthday is on the weekend, and I'm confused on how to approach this. We have plans to go out Sat night. If I end this tomorrow, on one hand she has the chance to go out with her friends. I'd still feel like an asshole for breaking up with her so close to her birthday if I did that. On the other hand, if I give her a nice present and take her out (knowing in my mind that this is over), then break up with her a few days later...I don't know if that's worse...

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: 6 month relationship. is it better for her sake if I break up before or after her birthday this weekend? (no party, but planned to go out sat night)
