I think there is never a easy way to leave someone. But to make it less painful for them is to tell them the truth! I don't want to hear any lies when someone is breaking up with me - just the truth. So I can grow as human and understand the things that are going on. Otherwise you always try to find answers and you'll think everything is your fault. Which is not a great feeling.

To tell the person honestly that you don't want to be with them by stating your reasons in a respectful manner without hurting them :)

Think over what you want and why you want it. Take time to consider your feelings and the reasons for your decision. Think about what you'll say and how the other person might react. Have good intentions. Be honest — but not brutal. Say it in person. If it helps, confide in someone you trust.

The easiest way to break up with someone is to first be honest with yourself about why this relationship isn't working for you.
The next step would be to speak to your current partner about how you're feeling and that you believe it is time to move forward. Your partner may be upset about your decision and that's to be expected. It's important to be empathetic to their feelings and answer any questions that they may have.

Be honest, yet taking into consideration their feelings. Do it face to face in a safe environment. Make sure not to give any false hope of getting back together again (e.g. 'Well if you didn't do this'.... or 'if things were different')

The easiest way to break up with someone is just being honest with them and probably in person it's better for you and the other person and as well it's coming from the heart.

Just be honest with them. You thinking of breaking up with them is already a sign it isn't working for you. Just be direct and strong about your decision and leave things in a good note.

Always in person. Never over text. Make sure they know the reason, it gives them closure. It helps ease the break up later on.

Face to face if possible would be ideal that way you can allow them to feel respected and as if they were worth that last effort
