There is no easy way. It's going to hurt either through guilt, anger or loss. But those feelings with time, patience and acknowledgement will fade and you will move on.

To tell them what is bothering you. To make them understand what the core problem is and knowing that it's the best for the both of you

I believe the best way to end a relationship is to be authentic. Letting someone know you need space, or to end things, or things aren't working...doens't mean you need to give a list of faults or have an argument. Simply explaining you need to work on yourself and need space to do so~ Or even letting them know needs aren't being met and you need to move forward ....just keeping things real and not a dramatic finger pointing session.

No easy way to ever break up with someone I don't believe. I do think though that just being honest and giving closure to both individuals is very important and helpful.

By telling them the truth and being honest with them and yourself. Also, thinking about what you’re going to say to them and making sure you’re comfortable in with what you’re saying to them.

Being honest. You can't choose how you want them to feel when you break up with them, your job is to be honest. Its how they take it.

Don't make them feel in the wrong. Try to be as supportive as you can about it. Let them know this is your choice and give the other person grieving time.

Honestly, there is no easy way to break up with somebody. The best way in my opinion is not something that would make it easy for you, it should be something that makes it easy for them. You should do it face to face, while looking the other person in the eye and telling him/her the reason for the breakup. You owe that person that much. PS: - Never do it over a text. If you're in a long distance, do it over a call.

The easiest way is to text or call them, you can get away quickly. But the best way, the way that everyone avoids because it's almost impossible to not back out, is talking face to face.

Be honest and compassionate with them! Put yourself in their shoes and Relay your feeling how you want someone to relay a message to you.

Easy should not be the main consideration. Respect and compassion for the person you are breaking up with should matter more.

You be honest and loyal to them but in a gentle manner and even though it might be very hard the best way to break up with them is in person and be as gentle as possible and afterwards try to hang out as friends

Be honest with them. Let them know the reasons why you feel however you do. If you've already given them chances to take care of the problems and feelings you have & they haven't. They will understand. Your happiness comes before anyone else's.

There's no easy way to break up with someone, and I doubt there will ever be one. If you're referring to the most "non affecting way" you can break up with someone, I'd say that it's by text. You should always meet up with the person and tell them the truth, loud and clearly.

Being honest, don't say its something with you, the best way to break up with someone is explaining the reasons honestly so both can move on and learn from that relatinship

The easiest way to break up with someone is to tell them straight out that you think it won't work out, and then give them some time to get it together.

Break ups are hard. It’s better to ease into it rather than be blunt. Never make the other person feel worthless

Be honest. Even if you think it will break them, you should honestly tell them why you want to break up. That way, they know how to fix themselves for future relationships. I think that most people would want to know what went wrong.

Like some people have said already, be calm, explain your reasons and try to make them about yourself and how you feel rather than blaming the other person for you interpretation of what they lacked. Also, please do NOT do it over text, at least meet up with them and do it to their face (or if in an LDR, over a video call in skype), they deserve that much.
