I’m thinking of breaking up with my BF, but every time I build up the courage to do so, he’s so nice to me! HELP!!


Hey girl. Breaking up is hard but you’ll get through it! First, you need to make sure that breaking up is really what you want to do.  What keeps stopping you in the first place? When he’s nice to you, are you not sure that you want to breakup with him? Or is it just hard to get the words out when he’s being so kind?


If you know you want to trade your relationship for the single life, then you need to tell him. Try to meet up so you can talk to him face-to-face or else talk to him over the phone. No text message breakups please! When he says something nice and you start to waver, stop and take a deep breathe. Remind yourself what you want to do and push through. Once you took a breath and refocused, be kind but direct. Say something like you appreciate that he was a nice boyfriend, but at this time in your life, you want to be single.


It isn’t fair to either of you to keep a relationship that you’re not really into, so by breaking up with him, you’re actually doing what’s best for both of you. And if he really is a nice guy, he’ll respect your decision. Overall, it’s most important to be true to yourself and what you want. Good luck!

My boyfriend and i have been dating for only a few days and i already want to end it!! For one thing he asked me out ovr txt and we havent seen each other because of the break. When he asked me i was happy that someone asked me out so i said yes but then i realized idk him. We've been in the same school for the whole year but he just started talking to me a week ago! And i want to givr him a chance but what if he gets ao attached the breakup is harder? And the worse part is hes popular so if he dumps me I'll be a laughing stock but if i dump him no one will talk to me.How am i supposed to dump him without hurting his feelings but we can still be friends?




Hey girl, it's completely your call. Who knows, you could end up really liking him if you got to know him. I think personally you should give him a chance - what if you regret it later? Take a chance!

Okayy... so my boyfriend and I broke up a while ago. Well you see, I felt really bad about it so I got back together with him... (not smart of me) The only reason I went out with him in the first place was because my friends forced me. :/ Now, I really want to break up with him again, but I can't do it to his face!!!! Please help!!! Also, I've really liked this one guy since last year and I still do! Please helppp!!! Thanks! <3

 

hey! sorry, but you have to break up with him in person. It's the right thing to do and you know it. He may be upset but that's life, and he'll feel better with time. Think of it this way, once this is over with, you're free to talk to this new guy. The next time he sees you just smile at him, maybe introduce yourself and asking him about the kind of stuff his interested in. good luck!

Hey, thanks for the advice. Well someone told me I should and pushed me to him (litterally). So, I broke up with him and now I feel sooo bad. I still like him. A LOT! My friend, who is also his friend, said he misses me and that we can get back together. The thing is, I already feel bad for doing it in the first place and I don't know if it would work out again.... Please help! Should I move on or see if we can work it out? Thanks again SOOO much! you've been a lot of help! <3

 

hey! I think it sounds like you feel uncomfortable about this situation and might feel better if you just moved on. I know you can do it!

MOD!
My bf and I broke up tuesday and he said he still wanted to be friends (I agreed.) He texted me later that night asking how my school project went and then after he said he wanted to see the final product, he didn't respond to either of my texts. We exchanged a few texts since then, but nothing much. It seems as though each of us is ignoring the other (doesn't seem like something friends would do.) I saw him a couple times today (and decided to walk the opposite direction to try and avoid an awkward situation,) but there was a club meeting (we are both in the club) and he stops near where I'm sitting, starts coughing, and looks toward me. I jokingly asking "dying?" but he coughs a couple times more and turns away. I would still like to be friends, but I am unsure how to approach him. I'm sure I will end up seeing him tomorrow at something the club is volunteering at, but I don't know if I should approach him. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Hey Bridgge2000, well you guys just broke up so things will be a little awkward for awhile. Think about what it's like when you get into a huge fight with one of your friends, and although you've both apologized to each other, it takes a second to get back to your normal friendship. This feeling eventually will pass. You two will get more comfortable with not being with one another, and things will go back to normal. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Okay, so I was going to break up with my boyfriend because I'm going to a different high school next year. The thing is, I don't want to ruin his summer and do it at the end of the year, but he's really sweet and I do like him a little bit. The other thing is, I like someone else who is going to the same high school as me. I also am too nice. Everytime I go to break up with him, I chicken out. Please help! Oh, and when I think about breaking up with him, I think of how sweet and nice he is, and about his hugs (I love getting hugsSmile Please help! He's also really immature (REALLY REALLY)and I don't really like it. Please help! Thanks! (Sorry it's so long!) <3

Hey girlie,

If you're not sure if you want to break up with him and part of you still likes him, maybe you could try to work things out with him first if you think you still have a chance. If you don't like that he does immature things, maybe you could talk to him about it and try to tell him you like spending time with him but that you don't appreciate whatever he does, or say something next time he does it. He might not realize he's bugging you! But if you really don't think things can work out, I would tell him the truth instead of keeping the two of you in an unhappy relationship.
