How would you tell your partner that you don't love him/her anymore?

mielshare, It's a hard thing to do but if you have to say what you have to say. prolonging a cold relationship which will also lead to break up with only cause more pain. better do it now. BUT... ask your friend to think fro himself is it really worth it to break up with his gf? or hes just into another girl? FALLING out of love has a reason. He must know first the TRUE REASON! then decide

I don't think it's fair for the girl if he feels that way. He should man up about it and talk to her. Yes, of course, it's never easy but why lie to her and keep her if he didn't love her? Just because he's scared to tell her? It isn't fair for either of them. You don't necessarily have to tell a person that "I Don't Love You Anymore". You can word it differently like, maybe, say, "We've grown apart" and "I don't feel like I want to be in a relationship right now." because I think the "I Don't love you anymore" sentence hits hard. That's how I'd do it.

k...here is what I would do...Find him/her, and tell him/her her, Hi. I'm so sorry. I don't love you anymore. =)

He has to be honest with her and tell her that he is not happy anymore. Eventhough it may hurt for her to hear that, it will hurt her even more to be strung along. I know it may be cliche but maybe he should start off with the old "its not you, its me". At least that will open the door to the conversation. But he should try to comfort her the best he can because it will definately be a blower, especially if they aren't having any problems. That's a toughie!

One way of lessening the pain is to tell your partner that you will always be available for him/her. This will reflect you good intentions and indicate your approachability. You may also give details of why you want to end the relationship instead of being secretive especially incase you have someone new in your life. Last but not the least keep in touch even after your relationship with person is over - it helps lessen the pain in the long run.

I think that your friend should just tell his girlfriend how he truly feels and just break up with her because the girl is going to get hurt whichever way he breaks up with her so he might as well let her know the real reason instead of a lie. It'll be hard no doubt, but I can tell that your friend does still care for the girl but doesn't seem to love her quite like he use to anymore. Just have him tell his true feelings and have him still be friends with the girl if she's willing.

Hi, I am also in somewhat same condition. I am also into the relation wherein I think I no longer love this person. I have never told it to him but whenever I hint about this kind of thing this person gets so annoyed. I do not know how to overcome this situation. I do not want to keep him in dark and just want to get away from this relationship. This guy is not at all ready to understand this and wants to continue the relationship. I think it is really difficult phase of life and there is no way to get out of it.

First of all, is he really sure that he's not in love with her anymore? He said that he's bored of her and he wants a change. I don't know your friend, so I can't really tell what kind of guy he is, but it is a fact that lots of guys get bored with their girlfriends and break up with them only to realize in the end that they still love their ex-girlfriends and regret letting go of them. I know a guy who was exactly like your friend. He wanted a change so he broke up with his girlfriend. But after experiencing the change that he wanted, he realized that the one person that he truly loved was the girl he let go. He tried to get back with her, but she didn't want him anymore. So please warn your friend to think things over before doing anything because he might regret it later.

For me I simple say you know I don't love you anymore.But the reason for that is there's a third party of there part or they don't want anymore to subject his boyfriend.

if he does not love her anymore he should say it out directly.maybe the girl thinks the same thing.if love does not exit it has no meaning to keep the direction going.in my view it is better to have a short sadness than a long one.

Tell him to tell her that it is not her but something he is going through about himself. That he needs time to himself to get through it. Nothing has changed with her. It is he that has changed his feelings. It is best to be honest, but you don't have to be cruel about it. There are was to say things with out hurting others.

there's just no easy way in telling someone you're not "in love" with him anymore.. heartaches nowadays are as NORMAL as our daily experiences. though it takes a great deal of courage to face up to that person and tell him or her how you really feel, it takes away a million more "heaviness" from you.

No matter what he do or how he will say it, it will NOT lessen the pain. Especially it's the guy who wants to break up? Questions that you need to ask your friend before doing it. 1. Is he 100% sure that he doesn't love her GF anymore? 2. Is there any way they can talk about it and solve it? 3. What makes him feel bored? If he really feels boredom, is he waiting for the girl to do the things that will make it less boring? I mean can't he find a way to make their relationship interesting? 4. Is there a third party? 5. Is he 100% sure that he's prepared for the cons of the break up? 6. Think about it carefully. Question for you: If you are in your friend's GF shoes, what will you feel if he says "Let's break up"? In my opinion, no matter what your friend is trying to do to lessen the pain, I think it's not gonna work. Just my opinion. Coz I've been in failed relationships for 3 times. ^_^

tell her as soon as possible because as long as you keep waiting for the right time it is more painful because there's no love at all for the girl and you keep pretending on it. that's not fair.

There is no way to say it without hurting the other person somewhat. The best way though is to just sit that person down and tell them that relationship is no longer working for you and that it is time to go seperate ways. If you are living together, then in all fairness either you should move out or give the other person a chance to find a place to go. This is hard to do, I know but it is far better & more respectful than doing it in anger or in a letter.

Here's my hypothetical answer. This is tough; but I would have to be honest and say my heart out. If there is no love anymore, it's best to be honest and tell the truth. But I would try not to break off the relationship. In fact, I would give myself a chance to find love for a few weeks more. If I really can't then too bad, I'd have to break up.

if i were the guy, i would tell the girl the truth because when she founds that out in the latter stage of their relationship it's much more painful. advice your friend to inform the girl ahead of time before it's too late. your friend should confessed to the girl the reason/s why he decided to break up with her.

No matter when or how you tell it it still hurts specially when the girl loves that person. What you ask is like asking how to stab a person without hurting her. Just tell what everybody says just say it honestly this is life.

I'm sorry to hear that you have this problem.However,i have the same problem as you now.I have a friend who i met her at the beginning of the university,at that time we always stay together.As time goes by,i find that i can't get along well with her beacuse she and me have many difference in behaviour.now, i don't know how to faced her.Maybe i will keep away from her gradually,it should be a good way,i think.i hope it can help you.

It is always hard to tell somebody that you are not in love with him anymore. Better to find enough time to talk with him so that she can frankly tell him the truth it always hurt but there is no enough reason to keep the relationship going if the feeling is gone already. Be open & flat.
