Unlike a relationship, where it’s incredibly taboo to end things via text or call, what’s appropriate for a situationship isn’t so clear. Kelly says how you end it is up to you and depends on the context. “What is most important is to be clear, direct, and honest,” she says. “If you communicate best by writing out your thoughts and choosing your words carefully, sending a written message is perfectly okay. On the other hand, you might have an in-person conversation, especially if you have a long history with this individual.” Moyle adds that what’s important is to do it respectfully. “Technology can provide a buffer, but that doesn’t mean we should let our communication standards slip,” she advises.
