Uneffective strategy (esp. if you don't care): fuck your significant other's best friend in your bed and get caught in the act.
Effective Strategy: Come clean with what's not working and why. No blame, no finger pointing. I say that because it is always two people in a rellationship. Many times we make up various stories and meanings to what they do or say. We act based on having convinced ourselves that those stories are true. Many times, we build up resentment for uncomunicated intentions, and then blame the other for our unhappiness.
So my response is...What is the context of the breakup? Different scenarios call for different actions and communications.
