There's really never the perfect time to tell someone bad news, so just sit him down and tell him you have something important to talk to him about. Then get it over with and you'll feel a huge relief when it's over and done. If you truly love this person, you owe it to him to be honest with him.

It's hard to break bad news to someone you love because you are concerned how they will react and if they will love you the same (if the bad news has to do with you). The best way to do it is to just be direct about it and get it out in the open.

It is hard due to the love you have for them.. The best thing to do is to be honest and up front with what you need to tell them.. It may hurt them but in the end it will work out for the best for both of you..

well, itdepends on what you are breaking to them....is hard because that special someone that you love is the last person you would ever want to hurt...try saying it very commly, and be really honest.

.it makes it hard to be honest with the people we love when we value their feelings above our own.if you really love them,just be honest.it may hurt for a while,but if they really care about you,forgiveness will come eventually.just bear in mind that even a little white lie can come back on you all blown out of proportion and over reacted to.bad news is only bad news once.and remember no ones feelings are as important to you as your own

You are afraid of judgement, and of them not understanding. Whatever it is, this person loves you just as deeply. And they are going to have whatever emotion you would have if the situation were reversed. Before you tell them, think it through in your mind, and put yourself in their place. Think of how you would feel, and what you would go through, that way you are prepared for when it actually happens. Love overcomes many things, it is the ultimate truth. I don't know what the news is, but I will tell you that whatever it is, when you are done telling it, you may want to consider counseling for yourself, or both of you. Just so that you don't think that everything is ok when it isn't. Good Luck and God bless.

depends on what the bad news is. I am 100% honest with my boyfriend, and have been from the get go. I earned his respect and trust a lot faster. It made things hard in the beginning, but I feel as though we're saving a lot of trouble for later on. We haven't left anything out, have been upfront with our feelings, our pasts, and who we are. It feels good. It's refreshing. It's also a weight of guilt off my shoulders and his I'm sure. Do it. Honesty can only do you good. :)

I agree that there is no best way to break bad news. If you chose to do something bad then you have to deal with the consequences. Suck it up and be honest!!! Most of all learn from it and you wont have to do it again.

If you must give that special someone bad news, tell them as gently and directly as you can. If you know something that will hurt them and you don't HAVE to tell them - don't.
