And I know that sounds bad but its the guy I have known for over 10 years I believe. And I only have been with my boyfriend for 4 months and only known him for a month before that. I love him but I don't think I am in love with him anymore. He's been hurting my feelings a lot lately. And I am going to talk to him tomorrow about all this because honestly I don't think he wants to be in this relationship eiter. But I don't know how to tell him so please help me figure out how should i start to tell him? And what should I do about the other guy? Because I think he likes me but I am not positive we have been friends for the longest. Please help me. Reply to this Question Share |

breaking up really just sucks. there's no good way to go about it. you just gotta do it. face to face is usually best because it's a bit more respectful than a text or phone call. but either way, you just have to be honest. you don't have to tell him about this other guy you like. just tell him that you don't think it's working out and you think it's best if you parted ways. good luck. you'll be just fine.

"I have enjoyed being your girlfriend and I wish this conversation wasn't so hard to have, but I think we have come to the end of the relationship. We've been having too many problems and it's just too difficult to work it out. These things happen and I know I will be sad but this will be for the best in the long run."You don't need to talk more than that. You don't have to spend hours hashing it all out. Tell him it's over and then politely say goodbye.You can worry about the other guy in a few weeks, for now, just focus on getting through the break up, okay? Good luck!

It is hard to break up with someone, but honesty and respect are most important. Explain you just don't feel the way you think you should. You don't think you love him. You just want to be friends. It's harsh but it has to be done. Don't say you like someone else and make sure you wait a respectable amount of time before telling the other guy you like him (a few days is not enough!).
