When you decide to break up with the person that you have been dating, common sense says that you should always tell him or her FIRST - not all of your friends. Remember that if you tell your friends first, word may get back to your partner before you have a chance to break the news. Your partner deserves to be told you want to break up before anyone else in your circle of friends.
It's understandable that you would discuss the problems you have in a relationship with your friends. Many times your friends have been through the same thing at some point and they can have some good advice for you. But you should not tell them that you are going to break up with your partner before you break the news to that person first.
When you do actually decide to tell your partner you want to part ways, put some thought into when and where you are going to do it. If your soon to be ex partner is going to be devastated, try to break the news on a Friday so that he or she has all weekend to recover. But if you don't think your soon to be ex really won't care, then at the very least do it after work.
There is never a perfect time to break up with someone and end a relationship. The person you have been dating may be totally shocked or it may be a relief. Either way, there is going to be some sadness involved for both of you.
