Whats the best way to end a relationship with someone without hurting them emotionally?

Thats really hard, because if your too kind, it may not work, so you kinda have to be mean, no fun!

Have Dr. Phil call them and give them the bad news.

Just be honest..... it might not be what I want to hear, but I wouldnt want someone to stay with me because they are afraid of hurting me.

depends on how long you have been dating them for.. and it depends if you have legitimate reasons for needing to end the relationship. As long as you know that this is what you want, it should be easy enough to be honest with them

There isn't a good way.. someone is going to get hurt (the one that doesn't want it to end)

I have never broken up with a person. I try to stick it out until they break up with me. By acting distant or something. I REALLY hate the thought of being the one to hurt somebody. I much rather have the pain on me then them.

I don't think it can be done. There will always be some kind of emotional damage. especially if the person still has feelings for you.

I much rather have the pain on me then them. I have to disagree. When someone you care about distances themselves I think that's even more painful, and borderline cruel. If you ever cared about them at all, and out of respect for what you used to share, just spit it out. They will be hurt either way, but it's like a band-aid. Fast and quick beats the heck out of slow and painful. Be honest, and don't leave 'em hanging. JMO

I have tried many of times before, and the words just never seem to come out.
