Tell him that, while you loved him once, you aren’t feeling that way anymore. Sometimes the best thing you can do is allow them to see that while you loved them, it’s no longer in a romantic way. If you still want to be friends with him, say you like him in a platonic way. The longer you stay with him when you don’t want to, the harder the breakup will be for both of you. The faster you break up with him, the faster you can both begin to look for happy relationships again. Break up with him by simply telling him you’re no longer feeling it with him.

Its going to be hard but you just have to talk to him one on one and tell him how you truly feel. If he truly cares about you he'd understand that you no longer want to be with him. Be honest tell him how you've been feeling lately and why the relationship wouldn't work out anymore. If he starts to guilt trip you, do not take him back. There's a reason you no longer as to be with him. It can even be done over the phone. Tell him the reason and then and then in your own words tell him its over.

Speaking up for one's self is very important in every relationship. Hiding a fact or feeling or thought may definitely be harmful. So it is definitely better to convey how you feel and what your thoughts are. But yes, the way we address it matters the most. That is when you have to be more assertive in expressing yourself. Your body language, your tone, your words and how you convey is definitely the key. Not being too conscious about it, let it flow naturally, but express it in a way that the other person understands how you feel truly.

I guess when you are in a relationship that you want to leave you start to appreciate the feeling when you are single.
I guess when you ask someone for something that could give them the power to act and stop you from doing something that you really want.
I guess just not saying anything and slowly separating yourself otherwise, talking to them in a good place in person face to face about your feelings.
You could say things that you didn't like and pair it with good things so it doesn't hurt your boyfriends feelings. Good luck with it!

Sit down with them when you're both calm and let him know how you feel and that you want to end things. Let him express any feelings he may have as well! It's best to tell him at a time where both of you are available and ready to listen to each other. Make sure not to put him down in any way. It helps to think about what you want to say first. Remember to stay calm and that you'll find the right person for you. I wish you the best of luck with everything!

You kind of have to be honest with him about this, because the longer you wait the worse it is going to get. The big key here isn't so much picking the right words, it is picking the method you communicate this. If you can, doing this in-person is usually the best route as your tone and words can be best heard and understood here. But if you're long distance or in a toxic/abusive relationship, you may have to resort to calling, texting, or emailing. Again, be honest with him in that you don't want to be with him but don't resort to rudeness or harshness. It isn't a requirement to explain too deeply your reasons for this, but do not feel you have to explain it more than once. After you do this, I recommend a distracting activity like baking, a movie, or a hangout session with a friend.

The best way to approach it is to be honest. Whilst it will probably be very difficult and emotional, it's the most respectful and mature way to go about it. Try to do it in person, if possible, as text messages can easily be misunderstood in terms of tone (and are also just unpleasant). Answer all the questions that they have (it's likely they will have a few) but also make sure you say everything you've been wanting to say. Try to explain it as clearly as you can, as it is already a tough situation to deal with, without being left confused.

Truth has always been a little difficult for people to accept. But the reality is that life is so unpredictably short that there is no point just staying with a partner if you dont enjoy it. Hence arises the need to inform your partner of the nasty n hurtful truth that breakup is the only way. As we live in a technologically advanced age, there are several choices to inform your partner of breakup. Although there isnt a nice way about it, text messaging is often used to tell the partner that you dont want to hang out with him any more. Messaging decouples both parties and allows both to catch a breath or two. There is also face to face meeting, video conferencing for remote dates, telephone calls or emails.

Talk to him about how you're feeling, and why. Communication is key. A breakup is very difficult, but I believe that through healthy communication, you will be able to overcome this hurdle. Of course it's going to be challenging, and it might hurt, but that's what Listeners are here for! We have your back, and we support you! Remember to try your hardest to refrain from any negative words. Don't react on impulse. Talk to them with kindness, and words from your own heart. Taking this first step is the hardest. But I know you are strong and you can do this!

Reach a mutual agreement .its okay if you are firm about it.it will be hard at first but if you've seen the long term plan and dont see him as a part of the future you have planned for yourself ,tell him kindly and wait for him to respond. If he doesn't agree,dont force him. pray about it and ask friends for help and come to a conclusion.Seek help from elders and close friends or people who have gone through it previously. Dont bottle up all the emotions.uf you've come to this decision rashly take a step back and think about what you'd want most right now.go back down the memory lane,stroll through the future most importantly live and breathe the present
