Answer preview
Reflecting on time, I think I used the wrong form of communication when I was breaking up with someone, we had dated for quite a long time. I believe a weak communication channel was used considering the long-term relationship we shared. This person became my lover after several years of friendship; hence the break up was a significant decision in both our lives. Therefore, I now realize that a better mode of communication should have been used to end things without grudging. This person was not only a lover but a friend to also my family members. It is obvious they play a crucial role in my life, but I chose to take the coward way out, and end things between us.
