ive broken up with my boyfriend of over a year for various reasons.

mainly the fact that i felt more like we we friends.

he also did things that were strange, like calling me from a private number, and lied to me at the start of our relationship about his job and eduction.

samsmommy agony auntI think one of the reasons he didn't take it well is because of the way you broke up with him. Text? Seriously you should never break up through text unless you were dating for less than a second. I would consider going to his house when you know he's home and ending it better. You could write what you're going to say on a piece of paper and ask him to just listen until you're done. He probably feels like you don't care about him at all if after over a year of being together all you can do is send him a text. How would you feel if he did that to you?

helpjayne agony aunthow about send him a text askin if he wants to go see a film but make it clear just as friends. tell him that he was a really good friend and you don't want that friendship to disappear. if he says that he doesn't feel right about it then tell him your there for him if he ever needs a friend. i'm sure if your relationship really was more of a friendship then you and him will have no problem

goodluck

A texted 'Dear John' rather than face to face is quite the coward's way out of a relationship.

I'd suggest writing him a letter. Keep it short and sweet but cover everything you need to say in plain English.

You'll need a pen, paper, an envelope and a stamp. Then you'll need to find one of those bright red boxes with a horizontal slot in it. (:o)

hannah76 agony auntHello,

If he took it very badly I doubt very much he will want to be in touch as friends. Go ahead and text, he may say "yes, that's fine."..........and never contact you again. Happened to me anyway. xxx
