How can I get rid of my boyfriend!?

ravelitex · 07-27-2007, 11:24 AM

My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year and a half now. The relationship has progressively gone down hill for the past few months and I think its time to end things. However he is like my best friend and I?m so much of a push over that even when I try to put things to a end somehow it turns out he is moving more of his stuff into my apt! HELP! What can I do to end the relationship without him hating me?

tell him how much his friendship means to u but u dont think the relashionship is working out. Tell him how great ur friendship is and maybe things would be better that way, just friends. He may need some time to adjust but if he says that he cant just be friends with u, then maybe its time to end the friendship too. If he cares for ur friendship the way u care for his, then he wont pull that . Good Luck!

If you are sure that you want out of this relationship then you need to hold firm to your decisions and just do it. I was in a relationship where I wanted out and he just couldn't get the hint. I tried every possible way to do it nicely, but it never worked. I would go out of town for two weeks at a time, and he was just waiting there when I got back! I hurt him a lot with all of this back and forth stuff. The only way I could ever get him to understand was to just be as blunt as I possibly could. Tell him "I just don't love you like I used to, and I don't want to be with you anymore." It might hurt him right now, but just to let you know, I started thinking about this old boyfriend a few weeks ago, so I checked up on him. He is married now and has a beautiful wife and little girl. Sometimes we think that hurting them will last forever, but people heal and move on. I am so glad to know that he is happy now. Your boyfriend will to. But you don't deserve to be stuck in a relationship that you don't want to be in. You have to put yourself above everyone else in this world. He will get over it and end up in a relationship where he is very happy.
