Im sorry but bye.Whats the nicest way to break up with someone?
Just tell him the way you feel, say you think you've grown apart, but you'd still like to be friends with him. Try explaining how you feel you've grown apart, no one deserves to be broken up with without an explanation.
honestly... he'll be hurt one way or another but the nicest way you can break up with him is to give him the decency of being honest and straightforward about this situation because you're partly responsible for it.
Tell him to make it easy for you. He will understand you if both of you still want to be good friends.
Tell him you are moving to Canada.
