It might be harder on the moment, but in the long term it doesn't have the same consequences as it does when you brake up the easy way (ex.: chat, phone, not answering to calls anymore, etc. ). The real easiest way: Face-2-Face Be sincere. Be true to yourself. Be true to her. Trully listen. Speak with an open heart. Take all the time is needed. Clarify everything that needs to be clarified between you two before going further.

Think over what you want and why you want it. Take time to consider your feelings and the reasons for your decision. Advice is really easy to give, but it can sometimes be wrong or even harmful. I don't have a full understanding of your life or world. Any advice I'd give you would be limited and potentially wrong. You are the expert on you.

Breaking up with a person you truly loved is never an easy thing! You should meet at a quite place and talk in a calm manner about why you are not possible, to continue this relationship.

Arrange a time to talk. Tell them you want to break up. Make the reasons why completely clear and unambiguous. Keep no contact. Depending how bold you are you might want to communicate why there is no possibility of moving forward between you two.

Simply be direct and straight forward. Leading them on will lead to hurting them even more. Say it directly and a little slowly. It's better to end the relationship as soon as possible. It's better in the long run.

Give it to them straight. Tell them how you feel. No shame, no regrets. Don't lie about your feelings.

Honestly, there is no best way. No matter what you do, you or they will end up thinking about it for days maybe, regret what you said or anything else. It depends on your situation, what you both are feeling, where your relationship is headed etc. Personally, I think you need to talk it out face to face and make the person understand why you want to break up because its very important for their as well as your mental health in the future. You should not regret what you did. Thus, answering their questions, making them understand that it simply is not working, in as much positivism as you can, is the way to go!

I think it's important to be very clear in your mind why you want to break up with the person, which means giving the situation a reasonable amount of thought prior to acting. The purpose of this is to prepare yourself for the other person's difficulty in accepting your decision. As for the actual breakup itself, it's important to be firm, but also sympathetic. You don't have to be cruel, but you must stay 100% focused on what it is you've decided to do. The other person may use various techniques to try to talk you out of the decision. If you've already given the matter a lot of thought, and decided that this is the best course of action for you, then you have to remain true to yourself, regardless of what the other person says.

Tell them the truth. I know from experience that this is the best way to go about breaking up with your s/o. Tell them the truth, sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's easy, but, in the end, it's better than lying straight up to their face about something that's not true.

Always with compassion and empathy. Nobody likes being talked to as if they are inferior. Always discuss why you are breaking up with them, and what you plan to do afterwards. It's good to be clear, but not abrupt or forceful. Understand that they may not want to break up with you, and how this break up may affect them emotionally. It's important to treat them as a person, whether or not you like them anymore.
