What is the best way to split up? Most of us will have to navigate the end of a serious relationship at some point, whether that’s a marriage with children or a long partnership.
Have you experienced this first hand? What eased the heartbreak? What worked logistically for you and your family – and what didn’t? What advice would you give to others who are separating on how to do so amicably? Please do not write about someone else without their permission.
