HELP

Well i personally think you should tell her right away that you have been confused and you need to think about things. if you stay with her because you know she loves you and you feel bad for her, it will only hurt her more when she starts noticing that your feelings have faded. Eventually girls do catch on to this and its better if you tell her first. If you stay in the relationship even though youre not sure you love her, i think she will end up suffering and you shouldnt have to go through that either. Just be gentle and honest with her.good luck

It does sound like this has come to and end and you should let her go as quickly as possible. To do that, you've got to be calm, controlled and short. Sit her down, look her in the eyes and tell her it's over. Explain that you're feelings have changed and that you both need to find other people that you can love. Then, delete her number, don't take her calls and leave her be. Yes it will hurt her, but you need to make sure she can move one, and that means no more contact. (don't toy with her). That's all I can suggest. There's no easy way to do this, but at least do it in person.

Maybe somewhere inside you, your trying not to let yourself love her because of what you have done to her. Maybe deep down, your a little worried she could do it to you at some point.
The best thing you can do is tell her exactly how you feel, tell her you need time away, where you can think, without talking to her at all for a while. Atleast then you can find out if you do miss her.
If you really think that your only with this girl out of habit. Then maybe you should call it a day.

Relationships are complicated to say the least! I have been with my partner for 8 years and i have asked myself the same questions.. Do i still love him or is it just habbit? We seperated for a while and i realised i really do want to be with this man.. sometimes a break away makes u realise what you have got. You need to be strong and tell her you need time for yourself to figure out what it is that you want, if she loves you and cares about you she will understand! If you stay together for the wrong reasons it will make you both miserable.. hope things work out for you both!
