It has been said that in a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, it is very ungentlemanly for a guy to be the first to break-up with his girlfriend even if he has good reasons or not. Because in the first place, he was the one who courted the girl,(unless it's the girl who courted him first)...What do you think? Is it okay if the boyfriend be the first one to break-up with his girlfriend?

Of course it's okay. That actually depends on what the situation the couple has in their relationship. There must be a valid reason why the guy is the one breaking up first. It sure hurts for the girl if the guy's the one who asked for the break up. But girls can't push herself more if there is no love anymore. Better accept it than get hurt even more.

I think it is okay for anyone to break up first... because i would personally prefer that he tell me than him pretending and waiting for me to break up with him when i feel he does not feel the same for me anymore. its just plain heartbreaking to be ignored... more so if the person pretends to love you and care about you but could not gather words to tell you you are being fooled by his heart and mind?

Yes that is fine. I think it would be decent of the guy not to be mean or rude when he is ending the relationship. I think that everyone should be happy, and if someone is unhappy in a relationship, they should end it.

I believe that's depending how have you been raised.. What are your traditions and culture. If you come from a family that tends to believe it's ungentlemanly for a guy to do that then you will most likely believe like you were taught. But as for myself i believe it's okay if the man breaks up with his girlfriend, I don't think it will be fair for the man to be attach with someone they don't love just for being a gentleman. Nobody can forced a man to feel love for you, if he doesn't love you then it's best for him to open up and break up than rather you be living with the lie.
I prefer a guy who will be my boyfriend and will be with me because he loves me not because he can't break up with me.

it's okay than cheating or pretending that he loves the girl.
There is nothing wrong if who will end up a relationship.
Could it be the guy or the girl- what matters most is -one must be honest in a relationship.

If the situation calls for the boyfriend to make the first move for the break-up why not? No one wants to be the boyfriend of a girl who cheats on her boyfriend, if that is the case.

I don't see anything wrong with that. If the guy is unhappy in the relationship, he shouldn't have to stay just because it would be ungentlemanly of him to break up. As long as a guy (or anyone for that matter) isn't rude about the breakup and if it's a mutual decision.

I don't think it matters who decides to end a relationship. A relationship is a partnership and both people should be equals in all ways. If one person is unhappy in the relationship, regardless of its the man or woman, they have a right to end the relationship. In fact, I think that it would be dishonest to stay in a relationship that you no longer want to be in and owe it to the other person to let them know it is over. Trust me, pretending only makes it worse for the other person in the long run.

Ofcourse it's ok.it does not matter who ended the relation first either boy or girl.
IF the reason is valid and good then anyone of them can end the relation.
