Three ways to say it
“i've been thinking about us a lot and i don't feel the same way anymore, this isn't working and i'm sorry, you're not a bad person i just can't do this anymore”
I've thought about this. It's not right for either of us. I'm sorry.
“after what happened i can't keep doing this, i tried to make it work but i can't trust you and i can't be in something without trust so i'm done”
I can't do this after what happened. I'm done.
“i love you and i wish this was different but we're not right for each other and pretending otherwise isn't fair to either of us, i think we have to stop”
We're not right for each other. I'm sorry. We have to stop.
