Let's say right away - if you plan to leave a person who strongly loves you, then you cannot remain friends with him after that. Perhaps sometime in the future, when the pain has passed, the time will come for friendship, but not immediately after the breakup. It's another matter if both of you understand that the love relationship between you is not going well. Then this option is possible. But to break them so as to remain friends, you need to wisely.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the right time and place to talk and tell your still significant other that you don't think the relationship is working out, so you want to end it. Tell your partner how and why you value them, and explain that even the best people in the world may just not be right for each other. When saying all this, be as tactful as possible.
Step 2
To avoid damaging your partner's self-esteem, take the blame on yourself. Tell him / her that next to him you do not feel at your best (you seem like a weakling, uncommunicative, stupid, etc.), and this annoys you. You can think of any excuses. The main thing is that later the partner remembers this conversation with a smile, thinking to himself "how weak men are after all!" (as "women are stupid"). The less negative memories he has after breaking up, the more chances you have to remain friends.
Step 3
Promise your partner your help and support in the future. And not only promise, but do what you said. Friends do that.
Step 4
