When breaking up with someone don’t tell them “maybe in the future”

If you tell someone “maybe in the future” all you are doing is giving them some semblance of hope to latch onto. Even if you really truly mean it don’t tell them this all it does is prolong their greif because they don’t want to move on because of that hope that maybe just maybe you will come back. It might make them feel better in the moment of the break up and you feel like you are letting them down easier but you aren’t. So please stop trying to give false hope it hurts them more in the long run.
