Boy trouble: I don't really love him anymore - October 9th 2011, 05:24 PM

I know it's not going to work out and I want to move on. But he loves me so much and is convinced we are meant to be together. I've tried to break up with him but either he convinces me everything will be okay or he gets too upset so I give up.
On top of that there is another guy I like. I started talking to him after I started having doubts about my relationship. I really want to break up and try out the new guy. I just don't know what's best for me or how to break up. I need help. Any advice?

Don't let him guilt trip you into staying, but at the same time, why not actually attempt to work out the relationship? Sounds like you'd rather just give up when you hit a rough patch and move on to the new guy (no offense intended)


I thought about you for the rest of the day.
Catching my head turning to find you again.
I hated myself for it.

I agreee, maybe the relationship IS fixable. In that case why not humor him for awhile. If it still dosen't, maybe its time to move on,

Maybe you should find out why this guy feels the way he does for you. That might help you understand more. Then you could see if you really want to break up with him or not.

I completely and utterly disagree with this. When you know, you know. There is no going back to figure out whether or not you want to fix things. Sometimes, things aren't able to be fixed. Plus, she's been thinking about this for a while, therefore, it's not something new.

It's time to be honest with him and end the relationship for good, OP. If you aren't happy, you need to break things off so you can move on to be happy. You can't let him put you on a guilt trip. It's not fair for you to be unhappy in the relationship, and it's not fair for you to pretend to be happy in your relationship.

Dani, the issue here isn't what's best for you (you've already determined this) or even how to do it (you've already have). No, the issue is his unwillingness to accept it. That's always hard, especially for the one not wanting the break up.

You're entitled to end a relationship if you've decided it no longer works for you, and as long as you're kind, his acceptance of it isn't really the issue, your obligation is to be direct and kind with him, not to get him to 'Accept' it. As long as you've done that, then there's not much else for you to do, the rest is up to him and his support network.

Tell him directly and clearly, with an explanation of why and what is now about to happen, and follow thru. Just be nice.


PM me with the link of the post you'd like me to respond to.

A relationship is only a relationship when both parties are happy. And if you are not happy then it's not worth it. But keep in mind that you never lose love for someone...it just slowly disappears until you can't feel it anymore. So you probably still love him and you just don't feel it. Just do what your heart tells you to do.

Good luck!! ^_^
