Considering a break-up?
So I have had a girlfriend for 4 months now and I know she really loves me but there are 2 problems:
1) I have kind of lost feelings for her, it's not that I don't care for her, it's just I see her more as a friend and not something more, it's pretty hard to explain
2) Our dream futures are miles apart. We arw supposed to start college in 1 year and my dream is to finish it abroad and continue to live there, while her dream is to live here and go to college here. I don't want 1 day for either one of us to have to choose between each other and our dreams.
I am 95% certain I want a breakup, but I know she will most probably cry and be very hurt. I don't know how to let her down easy, is there a way for her not to feel terrible? Do I comfort her, when do I leave?
I have never broken up with someone, I was once the guy who was dumped so any help is welcome!

I love that you are being so thoughtful and careful about how to handle this situation. That is very admirable for sure! Break-ups are never easy, but by being gentle with your words, honest with your heart and empathetic toward her feelings, you will get through it. Better for her to know now than to let her get more invested and have to suffer more later. Hang in there, she will appreciate your honesty even if she is upset initially.
