How do we say it's over in a nice way?

It is true, there's no easy way to do it ... that is why for me, you really have to be sure that you're sure with your decision before doing it, and you have to do your very best to stick by it. Because nothing hurts more than a heartache than another one. The best is to let the person move on peacefully after the breakup

Yes there is no easy way to break up, but it wouldnt hurt that much if you just say it right away and be honest on how you feel. Because there are some people who wait for a long time and become cold on his/her partner before breaking up. Honesty lessens the hurt and give acceptable reason on doing it so.

it ounds like you are planning to break up with someone. you may reconsider your position first. i will not encourage break-up in this matter. however, if the relationship is not doing you and the other any good, then it is advisable to cut the relationship. normally i will simply say, it is not working for both of us.

I think if really want out then it could be hurting to the person but you need to move on. Simply them them...thank you for everything you done for me and for being such good friends, but unfortunately i have to move on and is a pity that i cannot continue with you anymore. Be honest about the reason why you want to break up with them, although their might be hurtful reasons why you want to end the relationship, do not include that in your reasons, just tell the person that you need to move on, or maybe tell the person that you have found someone else i your life. If it was a cheating person then just nicely tell them that the way that he/she has treated you was not good at all and you have come to the situation where you need to make decision and the decision is to end everything

hi sherylp, breaking up is really hard especially when your together for almost a long time. i think its better to broke someones heart now rather than to break it for the rest of his life. personally the best way to say it is like this. i dont know if this is right but i guess i am in the right post to tell you how i have done one. talk to him in private. the two of you heart to heart. at first tell him that you will say something very important. then open up the topic at first try to apologize because what you will tell him might hurt him much but he has to understand that this move if for the benefit of you and him as well. lay down the cards, tell him whats the real problem, tell him what made you decide to break him lastly tell him that inspite of the break up you can remain friends also. if he has a violent reaction about what you said tell him to respect your decision that same way that you are respecting him as a man. then after that you can grab his hand and say your last piece. thank you for loving me and goodbye. hope it helped you. happy posting
