How to tell someone you no longer love them

Sorry for the mega long subject.. but I have been with my partner now for 8 years.. since we were in our teens.. we have one DD who is 1 year old.

I just don't love him anymore. We have no love in our relationship, it's literally like living with a friend that does naff all.

Don't get me wrong, I could go on about all the things he does/doesn't do, but that's not what it's about.

When it all comes down to it, I realise I have no feelings for him anymore. I don't hate him, I just don't love him.

I know it will break him regardless, but I honestly have no idea how to approach this. I can't keep ignoring it and pretending because that's just as unfair.

I'm just lost on what to say or do.

TIA for any help!

The main is to make a plan to separate, tell him you’re leaving and you only have to tell him you don’t love him if he asks.

You just need to be as honest as you possibly can be, and answer any questions he has. Tell him it isn't working, you need to be separate, you've given it a lot of thought. Stay firm and tell him what is going to happen.

Can I jump in if you don't mind and ask how do you know you don't love him anymore?? Hope that okay me asking? I'm 8 years my partner too and sometimes have these thoughts of starting over... bit back to your question if you know its what you truly want then you will have to just sit him down and go for it.
