LET HIM DOWN EASY

Dear Teachers,

1. Her boss told her never to insult foreign dignitaries, so she dicided to let him down easy.

- "let him down easy" means "give way to him", right?

2. If I keep working with this tense working intensity, I will go nuts / I will go crazy.

- Is this natural?

Thanks a bunch to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

- "let him down easy" means "give way to him", right? Well, not sure about your context, but this is used mainly in dating and relationships. She's breaking the relationship in a nice way, so they can still be friends.
