2.Be honest.
While the last thing on your mind might be to hurt your partner, you need to make sure you’re being honest. No one wants to hear the truth but everybody needs it. Try to be honest about why you want to break up and help the other person understand your reasons by giving context.

Additionally, tell them why the relationship is no longer working for you and, who knows, maybe they were feeling the same but didn’t have the courage to call it quits. Also, make sure you’re breaking up with them in a gentle way, and try not to hurt their feelings in the process, at least no more than they already are.
According to relationship expert Robert Taibbi, L.C.S.W., try focusing on how you’re feeling, instead of pointing fingers at them and criticize their behavior. The last thing you would want is to appear angry, or as if you’re blaming them for the breakup.
Instead, focus on being calm, clear and have an honest conversation about how you’re feeling. Don’t drop the bomb and then give them the silent treatment. Breakups are hard enough, there’s no point in complicating things even more.
Ask yourself how would you want to be treated if you were to be in their position. Chances are you’ll want honesty and kindness if the table was turned.
