Hey guys

This is a question that one of my friends asked me but I didnt know the answer so can you try and answer it. Thanks

He has been going out with this girl for about 2 months now and he feels the spark has gone and he is going to break up with her, his question is how do you break up with someone in a kind way?

Thank you

It doesn't matter how he tells her, it's still going to hurt and she'll still see him as the bad guy... But honesty is always best and sticking to that decision...

DV1 agony auntYou should talk to her about it. Just be honest and say that the spark has gone, exactly like you just typed...

"It's not you, it's me" The old classic OP. Just tell her unfortunately you don't see this going anywhere, it's nothing to do with her, you just feel the relationship has run it's course and you don't it's best to continue that she deserves someone who can give her what she needs and unfortunately your not the guy who can. Just tell him to say something like that. OP honesty isn't always the best policy, the best kindest way is to leave them with impression that they did nothing wrong and nothing they could do could change the circumstances because it was just not meant to be.

N91 agony auntJust be honest, don't try and come up with the 'It's not you, it's me' cliche ending.

Just tell her that he doesn't feel the way he did at the start and things have gotten stale and it's not working for him and it would be unfair to both of them to carry on the relationship when it is failing.
