Answer 1

The communication mistake they are likely making is using an **inappropriate communication channel**.Ending a relationship requires sensitive and nuanced communication, often involving emotional expression and discussion. Text messages lack the richness of face-to-face communication, including nonverbal cues like tone of voice and facial expressions. This can lead to misinterpretations and make it difficult to convey empathy and understanding. Therefore, choosing to end a relationship via text is generally considered insensitive and inappropriate.
