Help me prepare the breakup conversation. I want it kind, clear, and final — not cruel, not vague.
LENGTH OF RELATIONSHIP: {months_or_years}
LIVING TOGETHER?: {yes_no + logistics_of_separating}
WHY I'M ENDING IT (write honestly to me, not what I'll say to them): {real_reasons}
WHAT I'LL ACTUALLY SAY (the kind, true version): {top_2_reasons_I_can_say_aloud}
HAVE WE TALKED ABOUT PROBLEMS BEFORE?: {yes / no / sort-of}
VENUE: {their_place / mine / public_calm_place / over_video_if_long_distance}
THEIR EMOTIONAL STATE LATELY: {struggling / stable / dependent_on_me}
KIDS OR PETS?: {any_co-parenting_or_pet_logistics}
DO I WANT TO STAY FRIENDS?: {yes / no / not_now}
GIVE ME:
1. **The opener** — 2 sentences. Calm, no preamble.
2. **The reason** — 1-2 sentences. True, not a list of grievances. Don't say 'we want different things' — that's a cop-out.
3. **The 'this is final' line** — gentle but unmistakable.
4. **What to say when they ask 'Is there someone else?'** — honest, brief.
5. **What to say when they cry** — a script for staying present without un-deciding.
6. **What to say when they say 'Can't we try X?'** — kind firmness.
7. **The logistics handoff** — 2-3 sentences about practical next steps (lease, pets, shared accounts).
8. **The closing** — 1 sentence. Not 'I'll always love you'. Something real.

Sample output
Together 2 years, living together, ending because the trajectory mismatch became undeniable — they want kids in the next 2 years and I've realized I don't. Venue: my place, Saturday morning, no plans after. Pet: a cat we share, mine before relationship. They've been mostly stable.
Opener: 'I need to talk to you about us, and I need to say it directly. I've thought about this for a long time. I want to end the relationship.'
Reason: 'You've been clear about wanting kids in the next couple of years, and I've finally been honest with myself that I don't. Not in two years, not in five. I love you, and I can't keep pretending that's a thing we can compromise on without one of us losing something we can't get back.'
'This is final': 'This isn't a pause. I'm not asking us to take a break. I'm telling you I've made the decision.'
If they ask 'Is there someone else?': 'No. There isn't.'
If they cry: (Don't talk for a moment.) 'I'm so sorry. I'm not going anywhere right this second — I'm just not going to change my mind.'
If they say 'Can't we try couples therapy / open relationship / waiting longer?': 'I understand why you're asking. I've thought about each of those. None of them gets us past the thing that's broken, which is that we want fundamentally different lives. Saying yes to one of them would just delay this conversation.'
Logistics handoff: 'I'm going to stay at my friend Maya's tonight. The cat stays with me — she was mine before us. I can move my things out over the next two weekends, or you can — whichever is easier for you. We can figure out the lease this week.'
