Ahhhh, now I see what you meant in your other thread about sometimes you need to sugar coat the truth to avoid hurting someone's feelings.
I don't think it applies here though. Again Val is right, the ending of a marriage or serious relationship is going to result in emotional pain and suffering and it is unfortunately unavoidable.
The best thing you can do is be honest, but firm about your decision. There is no way around the heartbreak you are going to cause.
I can tell you that if you stay in a relationship that you are not happy in, then you will be hurting yourself even more and also it would not be fair on your partner.
I would not want to be with someone who deep down wanted out and did not love me.
That thought hurts more than the thought of them being honest with me and leaving.
