Breaking up with someone is never easy, but there are certain things you can do to make it easier on your partner. Keep three things in mind: empathy, strength, and kindness.Empathy for how they'd be feeling, strength in your resolve to end the relationship, and kindness for their emotions after telling them. First, tell them that you need to talk in person. This is crucial. Second, don't break up with them in a place they frequent such as their bedroom, car, or workplace. Next, be honest with them and don't beat around the bush. Prolonging the break up does no one any good. You need to be strong, and just come out with it. Remind them that they're a great person, and if necessary, explain why you need to end the relationship. Not every break up requires an explanation, that's your decision if you want to explain or not. Lastly, remember that they were in this relationship, too. How would you like someone to handle breaking up with you?

I guess there is no easy way of breaking up with someone because not only do we need to take care of our own thoughts and feelings, we need to be respectful of the other persons feeling as well. It can be challenging to say what we need to, however owning your thoughts and feelings ie don't blame others, being honest and upfront about how you feel can be a good start.

Remind yourself that you need to put yourself first. If you need to be out of a relationship, then that's the best course of action. Self-love has to come first in this situation.

The easiest way to break up with someone is simply to do it, be honest about it without being hurtful if at all possible, and to be genuine. It's never easy to initiate a break up, but ultimately, if you want this, then it is in the interest of both parties to be honest about it and do so.

Take your time when explaining why you want to break up. Let him/her talk as well and find out exactly why you are breaking up.

Honesty is key. The burden of a breakup is heavy, but the secret of wanting to is even heavier. Organize your thoughts and ask yourself why you are feeling this way. It is your right not to be with someone if that is what makes you happy. Once you've done that soul searching, go to them and tell them the same thing. They may not like it, but you owe it to yourself to be open and honest with your partner.

Pick somewhere private and safe for them, so they don't have to try and be strong or feel under attack. Don't sugar coat it, be clear and no break up sex.
