Be honest and truthful and to the point, dont beat about the bush. If you must finish then do it now rather than later and in the future she will thank you for it, but for now, expect some major upset.

take care

eyeswideopen agony auntWhat I mean is don't leave her thinking that this is just a temporary separation and that there's a chance of you guys getting back together. That makes it very hard to move on.

eyeswideopen agony auntJust make sure you make a clean break, don't give her any false hopes that really causes pain and a slower healing process. Like removing a bandaid the quicker the better.
