José, I wanted to reach out to talk about our friendship. I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I appreciate you giving me the space to do that. You are an amazing person to your very core—sincerely one of the most thoughtful and charismatic people I have ever met. However, the regular and long-lasting arguments we have take an enormous toll on me, and I don't believe they're healthy for either of us. With that in mind, I want to thank you for the many good times and memories we've shared, but I believe it's best we go our separate ways. I hope you can understand and respect my decision.

This is better

Sounds OK, if rather a bit too formal and distant (has a bit of office/job communication vibe), but maybe that's not a bad thing.

I think you did the right thing to eliminate that kind of toxicity from your life. Now you can move on and be at peace

I don't know the full context of this, but if this is a platonic relationship and she's not overly clingy, do you really need to send the text tho?

You could just gradually distance yourself?

But yeah, if you've already tried this and they're not getting the point, then what you wrote sounds good

Very thoughtful, kind, but direct. The only thing I’d add is. “I wish you well, and for good things in your life”. But only if that’s how you truly feel.

I think it’s good and expresses your point properly

(Also hi it’s nice to see you on)

I’ve never been a fan of heaping on the praise before you go for the gut shot. But you explain clearly why it won’t work

Reads like a letter of termination, but it does convey the message effectively and in a kind manner 🤷‍♂️

Way too much sugar coating

The communication between us has become exhausting. It must now end.

Think it is very well written and to the point imo

I think it's very well written

It's not you, it's me, and by that I mean you're dragging me down. Goodbye. PS: lose this number.

what exactly are you hoping people will point out? grammar mistakes? literally just speak your mind. be yourself. this is the end of a supposedly once great relationship. despite how it ended your ex friend deserves to see things from your point of view.

Holy I'm different. If I sent anything it would be "bye, don't talk to me again"
