I was a magazine article that a woman was killed by her ex just because she broke up with him. Apparently the man could not handle it and ended up killing her. I want to say to both men and women to be careful of who you are getting involved with, before you decide to actually get serious to whomever you are involved with get to know him/her for a good while and I'm talking about knowing both the good and the bad about that person. Break-ups are hardly ever easy and it is heartbreaking. If you suspect that your partner is the dangerous and revengeful type when you get ready to break up with him or her take these precautions:

First off tell all the people such as family and friends about your partner, that way he or she will not be able to get any type of information from them about your whereabouts, you can even let your job know about him as well.

Second, if you want, get a restraining order

Lastly, do not have any further contact with him/her for any reason at all.
I'm going to try to do some research on why it is hard for some people to handle a break up.
