Me and my fiance split up 3 weeks ago after being together for just over 6 and a half years. all my family know apart from my sister and my parents, all his family know.

My parents are away and have been since the middle of April and do not know a thing. everyone is telling me to just leave it at that for the moment but i'm getting to feel extremely uncomfortable bending the truth when they call.

Me and my ex are staying friend etc and it was a nice end, not one of these 'i never want to see you again' kind of ends.

We both agreed that it was for the best even though we had plans to get married and buy a house etc.

We both seem alot happier and more confident now too.

I am just so scared of how my parents will take the news, he was living with us for the past couple of years and they loved him as if he was one of their own.

I just don't know how to tell them, please can someone help me?!

I had this with my first boyfriend. My parents really loved him, so I dreaded saying that we had gone back to being just friends.

When I finally did they said "Oh good. He was a lovely boy but not right for you."

So what I am saying is to just bite the bullet and tell them, that you have decided to call it off. You'll be surprised of their reaction.

Good Luck!! xx
