To tell DD that we’re separating

My partner of 4 years and I are amicably splitting up. We love each other, but we’ve reached a point where we want different things so we’ve agreed that we need to separate.

partner lives with me and my 7 year old DD, he’s a great step dad and very involved with DD.

What do you recommend we say to DD to minimise the hurt?

She was 9 months old when her dad left us (she still sees him), fortunately she can’t remember that break up and there were no other relationships before current partner.

Has he already moved out? Will he be seeing her in the short term future or is that the end of their relationship? How long has he lived there?

He’s moving out in a couple of weeks.

he’d like to continue to see her, even if short term, but we will only do this if we think it’s in DDs best interest.

he’s lived with us for 2.5 years
