text: how can u tell someone u want to break up w/ them w/out hurting them 2 much?   the best way to even tell anything like this; is to tell him in person.. reguardless of what the outcome is goin to be; be there for him; dont leave him without telling him u still be there for him. also tell him how u feel about him.. let him know that some day u may be back with him again.. be honest; but most of all; tell them why u must break up with him.. but make sure that they know that ure there for him. no matter what...
