I never loved my boyfriend and I want to end it. I feel like if I tell him face to face I’m gonna begin crying because I feel guilty for saying yes when my body was scared to hurt his feelings. What do I do?

This is going to be hard but it’s something you have to do. Honestly is important and he deserves that. This does not define who you are and it will be over soon. You should not have to keep yourself in a relationship either because you feel obligated to. He will get mad, i can’t say he won’t. He will also be hurt and might begin being very mean towards you, however, people move on. He will eventually thank you because why would he want to be with someone who doesn’t really want to be with him? I wish you luck and remember that 7 cups is always here for you.

Though talking to a partner in person about a breakup may not feel like the best situation, it is a good way to show the other person that you respect them and their feelings. Talking through issues in person allows the other person to better understand what you are saying, and it allows them to better understand where you are coming from. Sometimes when dealing with issues over text it is too easy to become angry and speak angry words. When talking in person it is easier to be understanding of the current situation and feel for the other person.
At the end of the day, it is your life and you have limited time. If you feel like you are wasting it or you see something different for your life, momentary pain is worth it over a regret that you're wasting your time. It may be hard to break up initially, but if you feel like this relationship is holding you back, it would be worth it to face some of that pain. We can't control how others will feel or react, but we can take steps to ensure our own wellbeing. And sometimes that's okay :)
