Whats the less painfull way to break up with your partner?

Answer 1

there is know way of breaking up with a person thats not painful to the other unless they are in general just happy all of the time. i would say something along the lines of "im sorry i just cant see you anymore.... its not that i need space its just i dont feel the same way about u as when we started dating... i know when most people say that they just want to be friends it doesnt happen and they end up hating each other but were not most people. i know you might not be happy about this now but if its meant to happen it will later on."

Answer 2

There really is no least painful way to do it. People have to do it everyday, and people get over it everyday. You can't avoid hurting someone no matter what you do. Just be as kind as you can and hope for the best. There will be pain involved, but it will go away for both of you in time. Don't make it all worse by turning it into a fight... be as honest as possible.

Answer 3

If the partner is still in love with you, then there is no easy way. Truth and honesty is the only way. Most people may not want to hear it, but you have to be true to yourself. I believe very strongly in people being responsible for their own choices...they also have to own their own feelings. I think if a man or woman do not want to be with their partner for whatever reason, then they have a duty to themselves to not stay in a relationship out of feeling any kind of responsiblity, eg, not wanting to hurt the other person. No-one wants to hurt anyone deliberately, but hurt is a part of life and we all have to learn to deal with it at one time or another. Hurt makes us stronger, makes us think, makes us capable of making correct decisions for ourselves. If we only ever thought about not wanting to hurt anyone, there would be some mighty miserable people out there. I have been hurt numerous times, but Im not dead....I have learnt to cope. I have learnt, that everything that comes my way is for a reason....that reason being it was sent to make me stronger. Life is a personal journey, and if we dont experience pain/hurt, then we will never know how to deal with it when it does come along, likewise if we never know the saddness of life, then how do we know what makes us blissfully happy. And you are not doing your partner any favours by staying. If you cant love him/her the way everyone deserves to be loved then you need to leave to allow her/him to find Mr/Mrs Right. Any way you look at it.....Just be honest and truthful, then there is no way any lies you tell to lessen the blow to your partner will be found out, which ultimately makes the situation worse. Good luck.

Answer 4

There are easy less painful ways- e-mail, phone etc.. But the only true way is to be truthful one-on-one. The other ways are easier, but in your heart you'll know that it was wrong and will hurt the other person a lot more.

Hmm take them out to a special dinner and tell them that you aren't interested in them anymore. You feel like you both are going in 2 diffferent directions. Good luck
