if you’re wanting it to be quick and not as sad, try over text. i know it seems crazy, but it makes the person not feel as insulted.

I'm not sure it's the "easiest" way, but the best way is to be honest, kind, and swift. Tell them it is over without dramatics or debating, and then give them and yourself the space to process your feelings.

There is no easy way to break up with someone, but having a good understanding of why you want to break up helps. If you can tell your partner why things aren’t working it makes the process easier than just breaking up and not having a conclusion. Doing it in person also helps, but only if that is a safe option. It just means there is more closure and moving in is easier.

Confront them in real life and say exactly what you feel. Be assertive and show that you are not changing your mind. But still show empathy toward them.

I’ve always valued sincerity. The ‘best’ breakups were forthcoming, direct and clean. They gently told me why they ended it, gave me time to respond and answered the questions I had afterwards. They did not string me along while I was vulnerable. I feel that it helps if the person you cared for can move on as well

tell the truth no matter how it hurts it is easier to get over with by ripping the band-aid of fast and slowly recover from that rise and be stronger for it

Tell him/her that you don't love that person anymore. I guess this should be enough for a break up.

There's no EASY way to break up with someone. Maybe the BEST way to do it is to have a conversation WHY it's the decision you guys have to make because the WORST feeling is not knowing why you guys broke up.

Being honest is always the best way. If you know they're gonna feel bad about it then lying is only gonna make it worse.
