I love her so much and don't want to hurt her but she doesn't excite me anymore and all we do is argue. I feel like she is holding me back with my life. There is another girl who I have my eye on who has stolen my heart and loves me to bits. Me and the new girl are a lot more alike and get on so well. I don't know what to do anymore. I want to leave my girlfriend but I know it wull hurt her so badly. How do I let her down gently? Reply to this Question Share |

There is no way that she won't be upset considering the time that you've been together.
Just be upfront and explain your reasoning. Don't lie to her as this may harm her chances of changing what she does to make future relationships work and absolutely do not cheat on her, nobody deserves that. Break up before starting anything with this new girl.
Good luck.

Staying with her while you make go-go eyes at another girl is just cruel.
Tell her you think the two of you have grown apart. That is doesn't feel right when all you do is fight with each other. That you wish her luck.
No matter WHAT - she will be hurt, but at least end it like a decent person.

cheating on her will hurt her worse.
what you say to her is that you are 17 you've been with her since you were 15, people change and you think it's time you started seeing other people.
yes she will cry and be hurt... but it's better to bite the bullet and be honest.
