Don't end any type of relationship during working hours, especially via Facebook.

First, work should be a time where a person can concentrate on work, not on his or her love life. To end a relationship, even something as small as a constant hook up, during working hours is selfish. You don't know how that person will react. You don't know how long the person has to stay at the office. You don't know how that message will affect his or her work. I think you get point.

If you don't know when the person is working, I would stick with the customary working hours, which are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. However, if you know the person works different hours than listed, follow his or her working schedule.

Seriously, what's the big deal in waiting a few hours before ending it? The person is at work...it's not like you two are on a date or going to make out while he or she is working.

Second, Facebook is not the venue to end any sort of relationship. I don't even care if you don't want to workout anymore with one of your buddies anymore, you want to switch to a new gym, or you don't want to go out on a second date - not the way to end it.

Via text is bad enough, but to do it via Facebook is a whole new low.

Man up and at least tell the person over a phone call. (And, ok, even a text or series of texts would be better than Facebook!)

Honestly, what is so important that you need to end it instantly via Facebook? Is that instant gratification really that important?

Sorry, didn't realize changing your relationship status on Facebook was so important.

If changing the relationship status on Facebook is that important that you have to send a Facebook message to end something in order to instantly change your status to "in a relationship" then you shouldn't have been trying to get with anyone else in the first place.
