How to leave my partner

[Helpme491256]

Hi.
After 1 year of being in a bad relationship i have made the decision to leave her. Only issue is i dont know how.
I know she will kick up a fuss at my parents house and at my work.
Do i jusy bite the bullet and say its over?
Do i drift apart from her?
Do i try and force her to break with me?

Im strugglig just to leave because i havent got the balls to leave the children (they are not my actual children) but ive been part of their lives for 4 years
Help!!!!!!

Be nice, be honest, be clear, be firm, be kind, be decisive.

You've been in the relationship for one year but the children have been part of your life for 4?

What are your living arrangements? Do you live together, if so rent or mortgaged, in whose name(s)?

If you move out do you have somewhere to go?

If she tries to harass you at your parents home or your workplace, you call the police.

Anyone can leave a relationship at any time.

Reflexella...... how do i be nice when im about to break her heart and leave her and 3 kids!

Ive been with here for 4 years but been bad for 1 year now

Live together and the house is in both names.
I dont want to get the police involved if she does kick off - unfair on the kids.

Why is the relationship bad? Is it something you both could work on? What has brought you to this decision?
