Feelings are going to be hurt no matter what.  You know him better than any of us.  You have to be honest, He will respect you more for that even though he will be hurt. Tell him you have enjoyed your relationship but feel you must move on and would love to remain friends if he would like to.  Tell him what you feel about him.  Start off with the positives you find in him, but get to the point.  If it isn't meant to be, it isn't meant to be at this time.  Tell him you really like him and you really didn't want to hurt his feelings and you are saddened to.  You don't want to hurt him further by being in this relationship that you have no more boyfriend/girlfriend feelings for him, just true friendship feelings.  Good luck to you.

be brutially honest with him.better to break his heart than to make yourself miserable by staying with him.

Get someone else out of your mind. Don't break up with him, but whatever you do ask your heart, hon.

Sorry but there really is no easy way. You care about him and don't want to hurt him even though he has hurt you. Tell him what you said to us. Let him know that even though he had your heart from the beginning you do not feel like an important part of his life so you need to end things so that both of you can find other people who may be better suited for the types of relationships that you guys want to have.

There is no easy way and it will be hard.  Tears may be shed by both people.  \n\nI would recommend a neutral setting, like a park, and definitely do it in person.  Just explain your true feelings to this person.  You don't have to give so many details that it will hurt the person even more, but do give enough details that this person will understand that you don't think this current relationship is as strong as it should be & that you have a desire to date other people.  \n\nI would do it as soon as possible too.  It is not good to string someone along.

There is no good way of breaking up, just tell him it's not working.

You can't worry about hurt feelings.  Mine were hurt when my girlfriend broke up with me, but she played it straight, I knew where I stood, she was in the right and it was the best for her.  Just be truthful as to why you are breaking it off.

i know it's tempting to hurt him like that, but you will regret it in the future. just tell him you're leaving him and don't go into details.

breaking up is never easy..... however.... if you think that ur bf is a jerk then you can be mean about it and tell him that you don't like the way he's treating you and that you deserve better but if he's a nice guy just say that you don't feel the same way as you did in the beginning of your relationship tell him that you see you too better as frnds and you no longer see him as a boyfriend....

The clingers are the hardest. You don't have to break it to him gently. Just to be safe, have a good friend with you in sort of a public place and just tell him that you want to break the relationship with him. Let him know that he a great person but he is just not your type. Say you are sorry if he is hurt. Then get up with your friend and politely say good bye and leave. If you have any more problems with him get a restraining order on him and make sure you are always with a trusted friend for a while. Be safe ,think safe, you just never know. Someone who  desperately clings like that -well you just never know what might happen. Next time feel a guy out a little more before a relationship goes too far and you won't get into this situation again. o.k.

You have every right to break up with them, and are making the right choice in ending it before you get married. Just tell the person that you can't marry her. There really is no easy way to say it, but you are saving both of you a huge pain by cutting it off before it starts. Good job. Most people in your situation get married, and then regret it for the rest of thier lives.

Seems to me the best way to address the situation is to be forthright and talk to him about your concerns.  If your decision is to move on to find someone more accessible to you, then say that.  There is no real way to break up with someone that won't result in hurt feelings.  But to be true to yourself and the most fair to your boyfriend, tell him how you feel and what you want.  Personally, I would recommend doing it face to face, even though it may be uncomfortable.  You may want to continue seeing one another after talking about it, but if it does end, be able to step away knowing that in the long run it may be the best thing for your both.

There is no easy way to do this. I wonder though, if you love him so much, why break up? Consider your reasons and then be straight and honest with him. Then go your own way. Good luck with this.

I know how it feels and its really hard, but you got to be straight up with the person. Tell him how you feel ( as nice as possible) that way you don't bruise his feelings. Try to be as calm as you can and tell him why you can't be with him, or why you need your space... or whatever the problem is... remember to be yourself and as open and REAL as possible, thats ALWAYS the best way.
