If you are in a relationship and it is just not working out because the other person is to controlling for you, what is the best route to take to get this person to stop trying to work out a relationship that you don't want?
The constant demands from the person have caused feelings of love to dwindle down to nothing. You have told the person that you no longer feel the same about them, but the refuse to accept it. You have told the person that the relationship is over due to their overbearing attitude and behavior. How do you exit this relationship gracefully?

I've been in one like this. It didn't end well if that's what you're asking. There is no smooth way to end a relationship. There's always gonna be anger. It's how both you manage your emotions after the closure that determines if you're gonna be friends again.

That's the problem is that this persons emotions run high, all the day. This is the reason why the relationship must end. Arguments keep breaking up to the point that they've had the phone hung up in their face. Now they are emailing and leaving messages all the time refusing to acknowledge the fact that it is over. How do you get them to stop it.

If one person is intent on causing drama, it seems like no matter how mature the other person is, it will not end peacefully or without drama. It takes two mature, restrained people to end a relationship peacefully.
I think you need to be very careful. The kind of people who "won't acknowledge it's over" are the kind of people who sometimes get a little offbalance. Sometimes, when you move on to a new relationship, they will threaten your new partner, or lie to them and tell them you are still together (because in their mind, you are.)
Please be careful, no matter what you do. I suggest never letting yourself be in a situation where you are alone with this person. A controlling person often escalates to violence when they feel their control slipping.
