Break up is sad but how would you break up with someone whom you don't feel the same anymore?

Hello wondericequeen, Tough question but I had been through this once. I didn't like a guy who supposed to be my so-called boyfriend that time but as I was just broke up with my previous boyfriend, I thought that I couldn't live without a man anymore. So I agreed to be his special someone. Throughout the two years we were together, I found that he was a cheater and I couldn't find a good reason why I need to hope for something better from the relationship. I gave him three opportunities and he disappointed me. At the end, I decided to end the relationship rather than to continue to the next level as I really couldn't understand him and I couldn't see any future with him at all. He begged me twice but I already made my decision. That's it. It is better to end your relationship at the early stage rather than after getting engaged or married and feels regret about your decision. P.S. Hey, what happened to you? What with all the plans before? Don't want to tell me?

As painful as it is, I still would be honest and tell the truth. No point being rude or make up a lie. You can not help how you feel. Even knowing you will hurt some one, I guess it will be more hurtfull if you keep on going and then later it turned out not be so well.

I would be kind but direct. However, it is in my view much easier to screen people more carefully from the beginning and then not have to break up. With casual acquaintances one can just drift apart, but if it is a close encounter then breaking up is often, for many people, more volatile.

Break up is one of the hardest thing to do in a relationship especially if you spent so long time together. But sometimes, feelings cannot be forever. One day, you will just find out that you are falling out of love in your partner and you cannot help it no matter how you tried to bring back the old feeling again. It took me so many days before I finally decided to broke up with my boyfriend before.I feel so guilty letting him believing that I still love him.I decided to talk to him seriously about the matter. If only I can do to bring back my love for him but I really can no longer feel anything for him. This topic quite make me sad.

Breaks up can occur for innumerable reasons, including conflicts in personality, lifestyle changes, or attraction to other people. Breaking up with someone is really a hard thing to do; esp if you love the person.... but breaking up with the person whom u dont feel d same anymore is d same....you will hurt the person u'd love, but you shud be ready with this thing and its part of a relationship; accept the fact that he/she dont love you anymore and move on with your life. one more thing, its not the end of the world....

Breaking up is always sad and hurts a lot. Mostly people avoid telling the person straight as it happens in most of the cases that person who breaks up gets the bad name and everyone else blames the person for hurting the other. But then what use is a relation where there is no feeling left. The intensity of emotions has changed,the perception has changed. what torture yourself with a false feeling and keep moving ahead. U r cheating the person as well as yourself. WHy put yourself thru mental trauma and guilt feeling. Its best to say and get it over with at the ealiest so that the other person does not stay in dark as well and has expectations which would neve be met with. I would definitely tell and move on.
