If you want to break things off without seeming totally heartless about it, apparently this is the cut-off.

The cheating website IllicitEncounters.com did a survey, and found 30% of people have broken up with someone a week before Valentine's Day. They polled their members though, so the number might be lower for non-cheaters.

80% said the main reason they did it was so they wouldn't feel guilty faking their way through Valentine's Day next week. 55% said they broke up with the person face-to-face, 28% did it over the phone, 12% did it over text, and 5% did it on social media.
