'Sorry It’s Over' is a relationship-ending website that allows users to outsource their break-up. If you're the type of person who likes to avoid confrontation at all costs, this service will do the dirty work for you.

The service works by allowing you to hire a third party to end your relationship for you. You can choose from a number of different break-up mediums including a text message, an email, a [handwritten letter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apology-letter-generator) or even an in-person goodbye. The website also allows you to send a [break-up hamper or flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-eats-x-love-cocoa-break-up-box) to your partner. The relationship-ending service makes it easier and more convenient to tell your partner what you might not be able to tell them yourself.

While ending a relationship in this manner may seem cruel, website founder Kristy Mazins explains that the way we are interacting with one another is changing along with technology. As many [relationships begin on the Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after), it seems to make sense that they may end there as well.
