How do manage breaking up with your GF/BF?

I broke up with my girlfriend one week ago because I was very sad for what she did to me. Maybe you can say that you don't love him for more.

omg why do you want to end a relationship that's lasted so long?? if you really want to break up though then you can just try and explain him the reasons.... coz after such a long relationship i think he would know and understand you enough to respect your decisions.... but i would suggest that you do think about it again.... coz once you break a relationship that's lasted so long, it may not ever be the same again no matter how hard you try...

Share your feelings - express the pain. It’s important you’re NOT keep your pain yourself, alone — cause it can harm you! Don’t dwell on the negatives or stay isolated. Talk it loud, let it out! Try to talk or share your feelings with someone you can trust, care for you, including family and your close friends. This will help ease the pain. Do something fun to take your mind off the negative feelings for a while; go for hang out and do things you normally enjoy, like shopping, seeing movie or going to the concert — but make sure you’re not going alone. You can choose comedy or watch a movie that’s guaranteed to make you sob it may surprised you how good that feels. Express your emotions in a way that comes naturally. Write a journal, paint, sculpt or play music.

there is no easy way to break the bad news to him. just like the other post above me, when you break up with him tell him the reason. the sooner you do this the better for you to start healing.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years also! Actually, I don't know how to break up anymore and I don't remember how it feels. But I'm a good adviser and I can help you! ;p Breaking up with your loved one is I think the hardest part in life. But if you love him but he's making you cry most of the time and breaking your heart well I guess you can't be happy for the rest of your life! When you talk to him tell him that you love him so much and you can't take the fact that he's making you cry and breaking your heart most of the time. Tell him you know he's better than that! And this is the most important thing that you can tell him.. Say: It'll be unfair because someone's getting hurt and the other ones just not knowing it (most of the guys, they don't know that they're hurting your feelings so called-insensitive). So you have to tell him that and then maybe in time you guys will realize that there are things that can make you two be happy by not hurting each other. Hope it'll help you!
