How do I tell my boyfriend that I don't want to be with him? (anymore)

If you're not happy while being in a relationship, you do make your partner unhappy too without really aiming for it. Therefore, you could say that he deserves a healthier relationship with someone who will appreciate and love him and that you just don't feel like you're the right one for him anymore. In my opinion it's necessary that you don't let him feel like he did something wrong, if he was all nice and sweet to you. Making him clear that both of you deserve a happy ending could help you breaking up without breaking his heart. I said "could" because based on my personal experience he will be heartbroken anyway, because boys have their ego... Anyway, ending relationships is a normal thing and you shouldn't feel bad about it as it's your right to be happy too. The key is to end things without hurting someone deeply.

Gently explain what made you take that decision; explain the feelings you had, or lack of feelings, maybe, that led you to this point in the relationship. It definitely won't be easy, but delaying it will just hurt him more in the long run

If your boyfriend loves you, I don't think there's a way for you to make the process pain-free. However, personally, this is how I would like to be broken up with:- 1. I would like them to be honest with me and not sugar coat things to such an extent that I don't even get the reason why they are breaking up with me. 2. I would like to be given time to heal myself and not forced to be friends with them immediately. The time could be a week or two months. 3. I wouldn't want them to discuss our break up with people behind my back, especially before actually breaking up with me. The best person you can approach about relationships is the person you are in a relationship with. Nobody pours your cereal. 4. I wouldn't want them to be rude if my reactions are overwhelmingly sad. Being straightforward yet polite, and giving them time are the MOST crucial things. Apart from these points, you should do what your heart thinks right! Cheers. :)

You have to organise your thoughts. Start with asking yourself 'why' and then proceed and maybe write down the reasons you want to break up and frame it in a really nice way so that you avoid hurting him more.

First of all you need to have a valid reason. Tell him in person not over he phone or text, to do it person shows you aren’t scared to tell the truth. Be as nice as you as you can, don’t provoke an arguement.

you can be honest and clear about your decision. tell him how you feel about your relationship now and ask for a break. without confusing him, or blaming him you can tell that you need a break.

Just tell him that. Suppressing your self by being with him more time without wanting it, is very bad for you. If you are no fit together things are simple. He will find an other who fits more with him. You don't have to worry about it but about your life that is very worthy. He also can take care of his life.

First of all are you sure you wan to leave him? You can't exactly tell him directly, try to leave hints and signs that you are not happy and if you feel that nothing is working talk to him, sit him down and try to day things little by little but ofcourse try to make your message clear. I know its not easy but nothing in life is easy so you have to learn to push yourself.

Theres never a perfect time, and you have to do what is best for you. It is best to just be honest and polite about the situation and be careful not to lead him on by not telling him.

Be honest and tell him exactly how you feel in a calm state. Honesty is the best policy in any situation.

Be up front and honest with him. Speak how you feel, why you wish to end it, but don't go at it aggressively, be easy on him.

Honesty is the best policy in a situation like this. It may seem harsh, but it is true. I recently broke up with my partner of over 3 years. I spent at least half of that time debating whether or not I should, that maybe it would all just 'work out'. In the end I just ended up hurting him more. If you truly do not feel love for him anymore, and if you truly do not want to be with him, you need to be brutally honest. Yes, it may hurt, both you and him, but it will be for the best in the long run.

if you right now say it to him then it ain't will be easy for him to accept that you don't want to be with him anymore, he will try his best to get you back as like before, so here you need to take some important steps to remove some feelings from his mind at first, and You don't need to tell that directly or suddenly, time will do that for you, just be sure to make some distance between the relationship, give him less time if you don't like to be with him anymore. just decrease the moment you used to stay with him each day, reply to his call but don't give him long attentions talk in short and for just few minutes, it is true and i do believe that time gap is something which cant be denied. if you make distance between the relationship then it is the easiest and the less stressed method out there none of you both will get hurt by this. after 1 - 2 month say to him that a typical line - ( i don't think like things are going well between you and me good, and i don't want to be with you anymore please forget me) he will then be able to understand you

It is difficult to end a relationship, and no matter how you communicate with your boyfriend that you want to end it he will probably be upset. This is okay - many relationships end. The best way to do this is to be honest, but empathetic with him and his situation. Let him know that he was an important part of your life, but the relationship is no longer working for you. Remember, staying in a relationship that you are not invested in isn't healthy or fair to either of you. Get him in a relaxed, casual setting and have an honest dialogue with him.

You have to straight to the point, you have to be happy in the relationship, if he cares he will understand that, it may be hard and you may not want to to hurt him but you cant hold on to something that you think is clearly not working anymore.

Being honest takes you far. Tell him how you feel right now and hopefully he understands. Remember, you are living this life for yourself, you can't stay in a relationship just for the other one's sake.

There's no easy way of telling someone that, so i think honesty is key here. Don't make up a reason, tell him the truth. Feelings change and so do people.

Well that's such a harsh thing to say and it could hurt his feelings, try to be honest and take it easy, I mean, try to be calm and not rude. If you are pretty sure about this, you should tell me and explain him why and what goes wrong, maybe he feels the same as you! good luck dear and if you need anything with it, let me know!

You should ask him to sit down with you because you really need to talk about something. And then tell him how you feel.

Let him down easy. Don’t be too harsh about it. It’s good to have an honest relationship. Don’t stay with someone that you don’t have the same feelings for anymore. Don’t lead them on. Let them go while you can. The sooner you do so, the better. Again, don’t be too harsh. Just let him know how you’re feeling.

Take him to a quiet space where you both can feel comfortable and gently explain to him some of the reasons you don't feel that you should be together anymore. Make sure you are certain and confident in your views as many breakups are not usually mutual and he may take some convincing. Sooner rather than later is always better and staying friends (without leading them on) is always a better resolution.

tell him honest what you feel, talk nicely and try to treat him how you would want to be treated. If he gets mad, try to stay calm.

Be caring in the way you word things and calmly start the conversation about your feelings and how they developed over time. Take this time to hear some of his thoughts and see if he can agree on any valid points you might bring up - as to why it may be a good idea to end the relationship. If it doesn't go as well, then just say you need to do it for your own personal reasons of not being in an unhealthy relationship.

Be honest and try to formulate your words with respect and empathy. You used to/still care for this person and you both deserve to be honest with each other and do not take each others time anymore.

ending relationships are not easy for any one but if you don't feel same as earlier its better to end that ,so if you need to stop that you need to talk with him and you have to ssay how you feel about him and you need to ask some time or break with that relation ,and that time of period he and she will understand what they miss ,and what they really need on each other

Shoot it straight away. Tell the guy its not gonna work anymore. That you need to be free of him, or if its a flaw, work with him to alleviate it. Good relations are just like good recipes. They need an investment of time and willingness to improve life. If the two of you are failing in translating your good intentions, or finding a lack of intent, then address it straight away.

I recently went through a similar experience and the best thing you can do is be honest. Tell him how you feel

Tell him, directly, personally. Better say it than leave it that way and both of you getting hurt as one doesn't want to be with the other.

Be as straightforward as you can. Also, let him know the exact reason as to why you no longer feel like being with him. This is a sensitive subject, be as polite as possible. Understand his feelings too. You are free to make a decision whether you would want to be with him or no but also remember that it is you who wants to break up & not him. Therefore, give him some time to fathom this fact. If he is the emotional one, it is going to take him more time than usual. Once you have confessed about your decision, be patient. If this is difficult for you, it will be equally difficult for him too or even more than that but being honest & direct about it will save you both from further exhaustion. Because if you do not tell him and act weird around him (which is bound to happen) he won't understand the reason behind your weird behavior. So, it is better to tell him at the earliest. As it is, the sooner you tell him the better it will be for you both. And only then you guys would be able to move on with your lives.

I think that the best way is to be blunt. From personal experience on the other end, it made it so much worse when the other person was being vague because it gave me a lot of anxiety about what was going to happen. It gave me false hope and in the end it felt like I was being led on. If I were you I would talk to him in person and explain to him why you don't want to be with him. This can be a really hard thing to do and even though he might not appreciate it at the time, being blunt will help him accept the situation quicker and will make the breakup as clean as possible. Because no one likes messy break up. Good luck!
