Question

How do you tell someone that you no longer love them with the least amount of pain,?

Answer 1

If this person loves you it will hurt no matter what.Be kind,try to make them understand this is best for the both of you,don't be condesinding,be honest and respectful,do unto others.Living in a relationship where both people don't feel the same about each other is a waste of time for both of you.I kow you have heard this before,but,life is too short,do it now so both of you can get on with life.

Answer 2

It doesn't matter how you say it, it's going to hurt. I would, sit them down (at home) so they don't feel like their put on stage doing a show. Sit next to them and have a very gentle voice. Start off explaining how you don't feel that you are the same as you were to begin with and that you just can't stay going as you are. Since YOU are the one breaking their heart, try to explain that it's not them, that it's you. If you want to stay friends, let them know it, but if you don't...TELL them. Don't give this person false hope, it will only hurt more. And please, DO it in person, to give them some sense of closure. But maybe first, you could see if there is anyway to try and get back to loving this person, see what went wrong and if it's fixable.

Answer 3

When you are letting someone down the conversation has to be about them as well , it can't be ALL ABOUT YOU! You have to consider there feelings! You have to think how they would react, or how you would want to be told? I would say staying calm and being honest are two of the most important parts. If you stay calm then they are more likely to stay calm as well, just be nice and tell the them the truth, there's no need to get angry and yell and scream and say horrible things to them.

Answer 4

you make the scene as comfortable as possible for them, and then you just be honest. If they love you still, it is always going to be painful. But it has to be done before lives are ruined.

Answer 5

You can not control at all how someone else feels. His reaction is his and only his. Just be as kind as possible and don't pull the "lets be friends" line until he has time to recover his facilities.
