    Before answering your question, allow me to remind you two universal truths about love:

    -Breaking up is always hard, no matter how nice you are, so do not look for the perfect scenario
    -The longer a non-happy partner keeps the relation, the harder it is for the two of them eventually, so do it as soon as possible if you are sure about your feelings.

    There are some techniques to make it easier:

    1. If you cannot find the courage or you think that the right words won't come out at the moment, write him a letter (sometimes is easier to express our ideas clearly on paper, and is easier to send a letter than speak in person).
    2. No matter what you really think, avoid as possible saying things that will hurt feelings. Remember, you are finishing a relationship...so what is the point on saying harsh, strong things.On the contrary, remind him of his positive aspects, which will help him to find another person who is more compatible for him.
    3. If the other person is trying too hard to make up or keep going, suggest a temporary separation (even if you know it will be permanent), this will calm things and gives you the opportunity to say: I didn't miss you so I conclude I do not love you anymore.

    I hope this advice helps!
