I don't think there is way of doing that without hurting them, but I will say whatever you do be honest, it is going to hurt anyway but it is a double hurt when lies are told and you find out later, it is like being made a fool of...I would say just sit down alone with them and talk calmly but tell them you still care but what you are doing is going to you too but then give then the honest reason...

I guess you could say the maybe you need need a break, maybe like a trial seperation and maybe you are feeling what ever you are feeling...

hi hanreq.i think there is no proper way of telling your girlfriend or your boyfriend that i dont love you anymore without hurting them.anyways it will definately hurt the other person.however i guess if we really want to settle the issue quietly its better we talk to them and let them know.if at they come to know it from any other person its really going to hurt them more.it would be hard for them to digest ti but i guess if both talk calmly then even they will understand and set you free.

it's hard to say to your bf that you don't love him anymore..maybe, what i need to do is that i'm not worthy for him anymore, that we need space with our relationship, that maybe if we really meant with each other, we really cross the line and see each other in the end..

I really don't think there is a way. I think that if you truly ever loved them in the first place, it would hurt BOTH of you if you had to tell them that you didn't love them anymore. I could never even imagine telling my husband that I didn't love him anymore.

i don't think there's ever an easy way of doing it... "breaking it down gently" , i don't think is gentle enough.... if ever you have to tell it to your partner, it always starts with wanting some space for yourself... blah blah... :-)

it is such a sensitive thing to tell, anyway you will hurt your Bf/GF if you tell him/her that you no onger love . Love is such an innocence thing that any little pain will bleed the heart very much. The person may or may not show tremendous emotion at first, but eventually you will know you have hurt him/her immensely.

I think there isn't a proper way to say to a person that you don't love them cause even in your nicest voice those words can hurt that person like no one can ever do but you. The thing is you just have to be honest to him/her about your feelings. Cause lies hurt especially if you heard it from other people. If you must do it as early as you can don't make them wait and make them believe that you still love them. Release them from the pain and also release yourself from that pain. The more you hold it in the more you hurt inside and they will also hurt inside not knowing what is wrong. So, better yet so it as early as possible. Make them understand that your love was true and that you did love the, but mow it's just that it's gone and if you continue to pretend it will all become lies. So, evem if it hurts you as much as they do, you really need to do it. ^_^ Best of Luck!

There is no proper way of breaking up with someone you once loved without hurting them.
Ok, let me try because I have never been there.
Maybe you sit down the two of you, talk things out, tell him that you don't feel the same way, hear him out maybe he also wanted to tell you the same but he could'nt.
After talking things out and you see you are not agreeing, then ask for a break for sometime to sort your self out.
