I'm just curiouse about this because it seems that it's a difficult thing to do. Let's say you have been into relationship for 5 years and then suddenly, you just felt that you don't love her/him anymore. What will you do?

when i told my former boyfriend that i no longer love him, we're still in our 1st anniversary. we had a relationship for a year and almost 3 months and after that i realized that i really don't love him and i'm just returning to him the favor.
i told him everything. i told him the reasons why a sudden feeling have come across my life that made me fall out of love for him and i told him that it would be best if we'll end our relationship rather than continuing it while the other one has no love for the other. after our break up, he really hated me. well i just did the right thing.

Well if you've been together for five yrs, you have been falling out of love since two yrs ago...So it's not suddenly. Anyway, I would just break it to them smoothly and just be honest about how I feel.. If your not happy anymore then your partner can only respect your feelings.

My boyfriend and I have promised to each other that if one day,one of us has no longer love ,then we must tell the other one the truth.I think ,if you really have no love ,you should tell what your real feeling,but not treat.
Be brave,maybe he /she will hates you ,but all what you do is for his/her own good.
Good luck .

....Hi pjsr18, Although I think it is a painful thing to tell someone your feelings have changed, it is the best thing to do. I say that because, if you don't tell them and you continue on in the relationship, you will begin to resent the other person, as you feel they are somehow making you stay in a relationship you don't want to be in, because you don't want to hurt them, when it's really not their fault. Then you start doing strange things, like burning their toast :o), or something. Best to lessen the stress of staying, tell them, make a clean break and let them find someone who may be able to commit to a relationship with them. Life is too short to keep walking around in a circle going nowhere. It takes two to make it work and if your mind and heart are not there, your body should not be either. Sorry to run on, thanks for reading. Take care.
