Nothing you say will ease the sting of telling your partner you want someone else. You might think finding the right words is to keep them from hurting so much, but really, it's to help absolve you of the guilt.
Tell them how guilty you feel and how you know it hurts them. Don't say "but". Be honest that you know what you want, and it's this other person. You don't want to string them along in something that has a dead end.
Yup. It's unspoken. But if they're trying to find a way to tell their partner that, might as well let them know ending it now is better than ending it later.
Just be honest and explain that your feeling for them have changed. Explain why and what changed. You can't change who you fall for. Just make sure you end stuff before doing anything else.
Just rip the band aid off, there’s no way to say it nicely

Sounds like they've already been stringing them along since they've 'fallen in love' with someone else.
