There are two routes that you can take.
- Ghosting. Unfortunately, this is an option. You simply stop responding. Either gradually or cold turkey. This method of ending a relationship sucks and provides no closure to the other party. I wouldn’t recommend it.
- Honesty. This will be the right thing to do under most circumstances. Be upfront and tell the truth. If you no longer want to talk to someone, anything that you say to get your point across is gonna hurt them. That’s why honesty is your best bet.
Here is an example:
“I’m not interested in talking anymore.”
If you can, be honest.
