Never blame them. You're gonna break up with them, so don't make them feel like a failure. Try to talk to them calmly. And don't rush it, take it slow, and try to make the other person understand your reasons. And hers as well.

There are easy ways to break up with someone & then there are good ways to break up with someone. Obviously there's not really such a thing as a "good" breakup; it's typically a difficult & emotional event for both parties. "Easy" ways to break up with someone are anything non-confrontational: through text, a letter, going no-contact, changing your relationship status on facebook & hoping they get the message. While these may be easier on the breakup initiator, they ultimately will be more unfair & hurtful to the person being broken up with. The "good" way to break up with someone you care about & respect is to have a private conversation with them, one-on-one, face-to-face. Talk about yourself - why this relationship doesn't work for you. Putting anything on them may encourage them to bargain with you & say they'll change those behaviors. Have an exit strategy & a plan for after, go for coffee or a walk by yourself after. Stay strong, if you know you no longer want to be in this relationship, stick to your guns, speak with confidence & finality. It won't necessarily be easy, but it will be the ending your relationship (hopefully) deserves.

Tell them whats wrong with your relationship,discuss with them the problem. If you cant find an end to it you can tell them you are not satisfied.

Prepare it in 3 phases. Phase 1. Show signs that your relationship isn't working out and ask him/her to try to make it work Phase 2. Tell the person that it's almost too late to save the relationship as they didn't do anything to help the relationship thrive after phase 1. Phase 3. If they still don't make any effort, break the news to them, which by now they are prepared to receive. Tell them what went wrong and that there is no point in continuing the relationship or making up later as you already have 2 chances for it. This way there is minimal damage on both sides. And no shocks or begging will ensue.

Tell them the truth even if it hurts that's the least you could do for the both of you. Avoiding it will only make the situation worse and you will began to resent the relationship as well as your partner by staying in a relationship you do not want you are basically giving your partner the impression that you are still interested that there is hope when there isn't that wouldn't be fair to either of you. So, telling them how you feel even if it does hurt the both of you would be the best thing to do.

Simply put, in my mind there is no easy way to break up with someone. The process is hard, but if this is something you're sure of then you have to go for it. It's better to feel the sting of a broken heart than live a dull life with someone you're no longer interested in--but that's my humble opinion. Besides, if you're thinking about breaking up with someone than there's something in the relationship that's not working. When approaching the breakup, you have to stand firm in what you want and speak the truth. Don't try to beat around the bush or dilly dally about it.

Talk with them. If you can talk about it, you can explain the why. Your boy/girlfriend will understand (better) and you can still be friends if you want.

The easiest way is to tell them that you feel that way. Things are not working out and try to explain what is the reason. Try it! It is really easy.

Having a conversation with them directly about why you think it's better to break up and the real reason behind it. Doing it without talking anything by just a text makes it very hard to move on. If you're going to say goodbye then already have the courage to say it openly.
