In my opinion, it is a more mature and heartfelt manner to let go. It can be in form of a vacation or trip that offers enough time to reflect on the past memories. There is no bad thing about consolidating the good times of your relationship as you move forward to see what your next love life is carrying. Perhaps you want to break up because of constant conflicts pertaining work or family, regardless of how much you love one another, if detaching can make things better, I do not see a problem in having a weekend breakup. It will help accept the significance of separating as you look back on its great moments without getting overwhelmed of the good memories. It gives a better transition that reduces the emotional pain, which often comes with most endings of good things. Partners can always share their fears, future healing plans, and plans to move on. Well, it may be distressing but a good closure and healing.
