My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over a year now. It's been really serious and we were even considering moving out together this summer.
But lately I've been realizing that we are not right for each other, but I don't know how to break off the relationship so we can be friends. We have a lot of common activities that we do together and so we share a group of mutual friends. Since he has been friends with most of them longer then I have, they would probably stop talking to me if our breakup was bad. What's the best way to break up with a guy?
Forget the we can still be friends part. If that happens naturally then fine, but don't give him the old let's be friends line.
For someone to get over a break-up they need to cut that person completely out of their life and get rid of any reminders. After some time passes, the hurt will go away. Since you're the person doing the breaking up, it will be easier on you. And yes, his friends will probably stop talking to you because they are his friends. You're just going to have to accept that and not take it personally.
As for the actual break-up, just spit it out. It's not easy to do and there is no best way. Whatever you do, just be truthful. It will still be hurtful but you will feel better about yourself and he will eventually appreciate the honesty.
If you brake up with him your friends probably won't stop talking to you. It might be odd for a couple of months before you guys start talking again but if you guys have been serious then you should probably brake it off easy. Hey if you guys weren't meant to be together than it just wasn't meant to be, and yes I know you probably are feeling awful even thinking about it but that's only natural. Best of luck.
My ex of 3 years and I finally parted ways last week, after living together for a year and a half. We've always had a very open, honest relationship...
