Ending a relationship is an emotional process, which is always challenging. To ensure the process is respectful and peaceful, do it in a private and safe location where you both can have honest conversations without interruptions.

When you meet up, be clear and direct about your decision without being overly emotional or beating around the bush. After airing your decision, listen to your partner as they may have questions or concerns, and avoid name-calling.
